Glasgow has two major train stations - Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street, with connections to local and long-distance trains the length and breadth of Scotland, as well as the rest of the UK.
Glasgow Central is on the West Coast Mainline, served by regular trains to and from London, the Midlands and the North West.
The city and surrounding area are also well-served by local buses, for which timetables can be found on theFirst Group and Stagecoach websites, and long-distance buses from Buchanan Station to most other major locations within Scotland. From the airport, the Glasgow Airport Express service (500 bus) takes you into the city centre in around 30 minutes.
As well as its comprehensive train and bus network, Glasgow has a subway running every 4 minutes at peak times - this is one of the easiest, quickest and cheapest ways to get around the city centre and West End. There's a nice bit of history too - having opened in 1896, it's the third oldest underground metro system in the world (pipped to that particular post by London and Budapest).
If you do want to drive, Glasgow is a convenient location to reach by car as part of your Scottish road trip. The M8 motorway runs very close to the city centre for easy access, and the streets are generally easy to navigate. Parking is available at many accommodation providers, on the street if you're lucky, and at a number of large parking garages located around the city.
If you'd rather beat the traffic, you can leave your car on the outskirts of the city and make your way around Glasgow on foot or by public transport, by making use of one of Glasgow's five park-and-ride sites located at convenient entry and exit points around the city.
