The Glasgowflyer 500 service has been voted Scotland’s ‘Best Bus Service’ at the prestigious Scottish Transport Awards 2009.

Glasgowflyer 600 service withdrawal

Arriva Scotland West regret to announce as there is just too little demand for services on the Glasgowflyer 600, it has been decided to withdraw this service.  The last day of operation will be 7 November 2009.

We appreciate that some people will be disappointed by this decision, but would ask them to recognise that we simply cannot allocate resources to services that are poorly used and must ensure that we allocate them to where they can be of more benefit to more people.

Arriva apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our passengers.
