Travel information
We want to promote public transport as a relatively affordable, convenient, reliable, accessible and safe means of getting around, both locally and further afield. However it can be difficult to obtain timetable and route information. In order to overcome this, the government has set up the Traveline service, which provides a wealth of information about most forms of public transport across Britain. To access Traveline call 0870 608 2608 or visit the Traveline website.
If you have any further queries regarding public transport in East Renfrewshire please call us on 0141 577 3425.
