Bus from Strathclyde Country Park site to Glasgow

We stayed here a couple of years ago and there was details of a local taxi firm in the Information Room. We rang them, they arrived on time and took us to the railway station. On way back we rang from train and they met us and took us back to site. Both journeys at reasonable price. Would recommend them..

Was it built before motor caravans became the must haves as now ?when most members had a tow vehicle that was used from sites?

Even when we had a tow vehicle, using it to drive into a strange town wouldn’t have been my first choice. We much preferred to use public transport.

But you did not have to drive into Glasgow just to the local station and go to Glasgow from there is👍

Still preferred to use public transport and go direct from the site. I think the only place where we drove to the station was the Wirral country park, where it was quite a walk to the bus stop. That apart many stations  have limited if any space once the commuters have left their cars for the day.

We quite often drive from our site to a local village to park, before catching a bus to our destination. 

For larger vehicles I suppose that could be the case🤔

we use Strathclyde CC regularly as our daughter lives in Glasgow. Our main criticism is traffic noise as the site is right next to M74. There's also a road running through the country park which is often used by boy-racers doing wheelies all through the night so best find a pitch away from these two roads. We've never used buses there but the local taxi companies all know the site well and are very reasonable. As for parking, we take the Metro from Shields Road station. 15 minutes up the M74 from the site, it has a huge car park and you can park all day for £2.40 including a return ticket, great value. Love the city!

There is a train station in Bothwell with services in to Glasgow.

Unfortunately the last station in Bothwell closed in mid-1960s. Nearby stations still open are in Bellshill, Hamilton and Uddingston, each with different services and all a good way away from the site. The 255 bus services seems to have a variable timetable where only an occasional one goes through to Glasgow though those that don't will get one to the railway stations in Hamilton or Uddingston.

When we stayed, the wardens recommended a local taxi company which got us to the station in 10 minutes. We phoned them again when we were ready to set off back, and were met by the platform at Bothwell station. You could also go from Hamilton station but more expensive taxi fare. Forget the name of the company, but very reliable and an easy journey.
