Sundance Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Just wondering if anyone is aware of any late night transport from glasgow - aberdeen?Ill be in glasgow tomorrow & was trying to avoid staying overnight in glasgow....Megabus have introduced some later buses, but not late enough unfortunately...The latest is at 23:10, but only goes as far as dundee!? I dont really understand why that is, but anyway....I also found a train that leaves glasgow at 23:30, but goes to & changes at "Haymarket" and then departs for aberdeen at 08:04 for aberdeen...This looks to me anyway, like glasgow - haymarket then haymarket - aberdeen, but when i searched for glasgow to aberdeen this was my only result for some obscure reason....I may not have explained this very well, so please take a look at the journey info & see if you can make sense of it - Train Info Rambling a bit i know, but i just thought some others may be, or have been in a similiar situation or could shed a little light on that train?Any help, information etc very much appreciated,Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Nazi Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 the train will be a sleeper train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Getting home from Glasgow late at night just isn't possible I'm afraid - the train via Haymarket will be the last train to Edinburgh, then you'll have to sit about there until 6am or so to catch the train.As far as I know, you can't board the sleeper train to Aberdeen in Glasgow/Edinburgh either - so that option is ruled out.Your best bet is to stay in a hostel overnight, but failing that, the first train north is usually 5:30ish AM..edit : not sure if there's any 24 hour cafes in Glasgow, but they would be your best bet..as far as I know, the 24 hour easyinternet cafe is no longer 24 hours either.

Sundance Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 yeah, i thought as much...I wouldnt mind sitting about some place all night, provided it was inside somewhere, which i doubt....It blows, Surely there is demand to warrant a late night bus/train...I mean, at weekends especially...

Gall_4185 Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I was going to suggest you go park yourself in Insomnia,a late night cafe up towards Park Circus. They do ace cakes and great hot choclate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I ran into a similar scenario in Kings Cross....my advice...explore the place...all sorts of characters and dodgy situations you're gonna get into, but hey, lifes for living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
