GREATER Glasgow night buses will run on Hogmanay, a major bus company has confirmed.

McGill's, who is operating the new nightly bus service in the city, revealed that the service, which usually runs on Friday and Saturday nights, will operate on Sunday, December 31 as well.

People will be able to catch the service every hour until 3.45am on January 1.

The five routes running across the city will take people home to Paisley, Pollok, Nitshill, Newton Mearns and Drumchapel.  

Alex Hornby, group managing director said: “Since we launched our Glasgow Nightbus network earlier in the year – one of the first in the UK to run completely with zero-emission, electric buses - we’ve received a great welcome from those in the nighttime leisure sector across Glasgow and our growing numbers of customers who have come to trust this safe and reliable way to travel after midnight.

"We’re delighted to now extend coverage further by helping people celebrate and get them home after bringing in the bells on Hogmanay.

“Not only will this help customers out celebrating, but it will also support hospitality workers to get home safely after a very busy shift.”
