Glasgow Airport coach service changes route after Renfrew Bridge closure
Citylink's new 903 service will no longer call at Victoria Park, Scotstoun and Yoker from Tuesday, just over a week after it launched.

A new coach service linking Glasgow Airport with Glasgow and Edinburgh has had to change its route because of the closure of the Renfrew Bridge.
Scottish Citylink says its 903 service between Edinburgh or Blantyre, Glasgow and Glasgow Airport will not be able to call at Victoria Park, Scotstoun and Yoker while the bridge is shut.
A revised timetable comes into effect on Tuesday 3 November, and Citylink says it will be kept under review as more details emerge about the closure.
Only launched last month
The 903 began running on 24 October as the first direct coach connection between Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh city centre. It normally runs up to hourly between the airport, the SEC, Glasgow city centre and Baillieston, with alternate journeys continuing either to Bathgate and Edinburgh or to Uddingston and Blantyre.
Bridge out of action for months
The £117 million Renfrew Bridge, which links Renfrew and Yoker across the Clyde, was closed after Storm Boelo flooded the electrical systems that operate it. Renfrewshire Council has said it will be shut for months while repairs are carried out, and because it must stay open to shipping, no one can cross it.
Passengers who would normally use the Victoria Park, Scotstoun or Yoker stops are advised to check Citylink's website before travelling.
