How to get to Write Now, but not right NOW

This is the first of several housekeeping sorts of posts; please contact me if you'd like an emailed Word version of any of them.

Travelling To/In/Around Glasgow

AIR:

Glasgow Airport is significantly closer to the city of Glasgow than is Prestwick Airport.

The Glasgow Flyer bus service departs from just outside of the Arrivals area at Glasgow Airport, and is scheduled to depart for Glasgow city centre every 10 minutes. Tickets can be booked in advance or purchased as/when needed. For further information, please see:

The Glasgow Shuttle operates similarly, and is run by the First Group in conjunction with Glasgow airport.

CAR:

There are several car parks in central Glasgow, all within 10-15 minutes’ walk of the University of Strathclyde.

http://www.ncp.co.uk/

 The NCP car parks are the closest:

38 Oswald Street (G1 4PA) 0845 050 7080

68 Montrose Street (G1 1RE) 0141 553 3150


Alternatively:


High Street Car Park
High Street (G1 1LX) 0141 552 7276


Q Park
37 Albion  Street (G1 1LH) 0141 552 3836
q-park.co.uk


On-street, metered parking is available all around the campus, but demand is variable. Charges vary, and the GCC Enforcers are vigilant.
