With the first instalment of the scheduled road closures to take place this weekend, local bus company, McGill’s has organised a shuttle bus and diversions, allowing customers to travel to Largs, despite the A78 being closed.

For journeys to and from Largs, please use service 904 shuttle bus The McGill’s service 904 shuttle bus, will operate from stance 1 Intu Braehead bus station, starting at 8.30am on Saturday 7 and 14 April, will operate to Largs via Beith and Kilbirnie, every 30 minutes until the last journey at 08.08pm from Largs.

On Sunday 8th and 15th April, the 904 shuttle bus will operate every 60 minutes, direct to Largs, and starts at 09.00am. The last shuttle bus will depart Largs at 06.15pm heading back to Intu Braehead. Details have still to be confirmed for 21st and 22nd April closure.

McGill’s Operations Director, Colin Napier, said: “We are working hard to minimise the impact of this road closure for our customers. Our current 904 service between Largs and Paisley is being extended to Intu Braehead and will operate as a connecting shuttle bus to our 901 and 906 services. The temporary timetable is available on all our ClydeFlyer buses, as well as online, and our Route Managers will be at key locations including Intu Braehead to direct any customers.

"Therefore, the message is very much to still travel and perhaps even to take advantage of trying out this unique service.”

Customers with any enquiries about temporary changes to their services can contact 08000 51 56 51 Monday – Friday 7am-6pm and Saturday 10am-6pm, who will be happy to assist.
