Bus from Strathclyde Country Park site to Glasgow

Well we used the 255 to visit Glasgow and it was a fairly easy journey as long as your OK walking to the stop. That’s closer to 2.5km, as the Google distance doesn’t allow for all the loops to gain altitude on the cycle path over the motorway. It’s also fairly steeply uphill for the last 800 metres, despite Google saying mainly flat. The bus takes about 50 minutes and using the credit card to swipe on and off cost £5.50 each. The bus delivers you right to the centre at the Buchanan street bus station. We also used the subway for one journey which cost £1.75 each. Although cheaper options are available if you want to make multiple trips.

Another time we would certainly give the taxi / train option a go. This visit it wasn’t an option due to a rail strike.

Thanks for the good and useful research. Unfortunately a one and a half mile walk and then a further 50 minutes on a bus does not make that site particularly convenient, especially for those of us who are starting to be limited by mobility issues. The taxi seems to be the better option and I assume the train journey takes less time. It seems as though the Centre of Glasgow is too far away for the site to have the same arrangement as the Edinburgh site with the mini bus?

Yes it’s about double the distance at 12 /13 miles, instead of 5 / 6. The bus takes as long as it does because the stops are very close together. I’m not sure how many we stopped at but Google shows 50.

we stayed there a couple of years ago and earlier this year and found it quite easy to drive into the city and didnt have much of a problem finding somewhere to park our car 

We stayed this summer, but can't comment on public transport.  Didn't have a problem driving into Glasgow. (We parked at Glasgow Green, near the People's Palace.)  We also drove up to Falkirk to see the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel.  The site itself is absolutely fine, although being close to a major road network, we did find in on the noisy side....

Bit more difficult to do with a motorhome

Francis suggested the train. It's not a lengthy taxi journey to Hamilton, Motherwell or the station near Bothwell. I'd opt for that idea. 

We might have as well brue, but they were on strike.☹️

I should have said " in normal circumstances. "
