This work has been planned for several weeks and notices/previous articles have well-highlighted the problem of the urgent maintenance required on part of the Cathcart Circle. Better to wait for a bus than disappear down some old mine shaft!!

If your at queens park station why not just leave 10mins earlier and wander over to Pollokshields West? seems like the sensible thing to do!

Why on earth are First Scotrail running a train service in Glasgow?
It's about time we have an integrated system with all buses, trains and underground. Like any normal city.
Tip for first scotrail:-
NO Glasgow commuter wants a rail map of scotland.

But they seem to have replaced 6 carriages of trains arriving every 10-15 minutes that can hold hundreds of passengers each ......with a single bus that holds a few dozen timed on a half hourly basis... Does not compute.
Probably they expected bus existing services to absorb the train passengers but bus companies aren't in the habit of routinely running half empty buses during peak time so there wasn't much fat there, hence dozens of passengers not being able to board at popular stops.

Would have been nice if they'd been a little bit imaginative and put on a decent number buses that followed the 5 stations directly to central rather than the bitty and partial service they provide and the expectation that commuters could squeeze themselves onto existing bus routes.
