Advantages: Generally quick and reliable

Disadvantages: Difficult to find out whats going on during major delays

What can I say about trains in Glasgow? A lot! But don't worry I'll keep it brief.

So I'm a student who lives outside Glasgow but travels in every day by train. The train is definately the quickest and easiest way to get into and out of Glasgow during rush hour! And on a whole the Greater Glasgow trains are smashing, they run a variety of routes and have stops pretty much anywhere you need.

The train times are consistant if a bit odd at certain stops, for instance there are 4 trains an hour from my station leaving at 04, 27, 34 and 57 which is great, but if u miss the 34 it is a fair wait until the next one. From Glasgow is much better, they are roughly every 15 minutes. Unfortunately on my line all the trains go to queen street so if their is a problem on the Queen street line there can be issues getting home.

Which brings me on to my final point. The trains on a whole are great, and when they are working well everything runs smoothly. However, don't expect the staff to be clued into whats happening if there are major delays! There seems to be a communication gap which means you can be left standing at a station for a fair while before you discover that your train is actually cancelled.

But this is a rare occurance. So if you're looking for ways to travel about wider Glasgow then take the train.
