Yes, that would be a significant improvment. These busses appear to also stop at Dundee, Perth and Stirling too, so even better.

Hopefully the new owners realise they can't sell GLA as "The Gateway to Scotland" with the poor bus links they have at the moment.

Let's hope this happens as would be a start to expanding the connectivity to the airport.

Tony Williamson is yer man to get in touch with via LinkedIn to suggest GLA-Edinburgh. Apparently McGills are consciously building an ‘Fly’ brand and expanding airport services.

Fill your boots - you being an advocate of this GLA-Edinburgh bus service.

Do it before McGill's end up going all in @ EDI though ;)

I was going to but one requires a premium account or some such. We are so desperate it’s got to be worth a shout from someone.

Flixbus Aberdeen-GLA is now on sale, with 9 busses a day continuing to the airport.

Schedules are a bit weird though, with a the 1st dep from Aberdeen not till 12pm and a huge gap in deps from GLA between 0840 and 1640.

Hopefully the schedule can be improved and perhaps a deal struck with flixbus to extend other routes to GLA or open a route to EDI.

Looking at one departure taken on a random day and time from Aberdeen shows that the bus stops at Dundee, Perth park and ride on outskirts, Stirling park and ride, Glasgow city centre before continuing on to GLA

I wonder if it's not fully loaded yet as that's a huge gap. It's good for me as I stay 10 mins from broaden P&R.
