How to Travel From London to Glasgow by Train, Bus, Plane, and Car

TripSavvy / Taylor McIntyre 

Over 400 miles away from London , it's a long drive to Glasgow but thankfully, there are faster and cheaper ways to travel between the English capital and the largest city in Scotland. Taking the train is a fantastic way to enjoy the green scenery of the UK's countryside , but it can be more expensive than you think. Naturally, a coach bus is the cheapest option but even flying can be more affordable than the train occasionally.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Get From London to Glasgow?

National Express Coaches run bus service between London and Glasgow. The trip takes between eight hours and 13, depending on whether the bus is a direct service or requires a change, and fares range from a bargain $14 to $23. You can also find cheap fares with BlaBlaBus , but their service takes longer—typically 11 hours, 30 minutes.

Most National Express journeys between London and Glasgow involve either overnight trips or arriving at unsociable hours. Since tickets are sold on a one-way basis only, it can be confusing trying to put together the best combinations of schedules and fares. It's much easier to just use the company's low fare finder. It will show you a selection of what National Express call "fun fares" which are the cheapest options available. Generally these have to be purchased well in advance and are limited in supply.

What Is the Fastest Way to Get From London to Glasgow?

Usually, it's ill-advised to fly between two destinations in the UK because the country's rail system is much more practical. However with Glasgow being so far away, and tickets being so expensive, the London to Glasgow route is the exception. Unless you are making your way up the country over several days, London to Glasgow by car or train is a long and tiring trip. The flight takes just one hour, 30 minutes, which is much faster than the other options even when you factor in travel time to whichever one of London's airports you'll leave from. Direct flights from London to Glasgow are only offered by easyJet and British Airways and although one-way tickets can sometimes be found for as low as $21, they typically cost between the range of $50 and $150.

How Long Does It Take to Drive?

It takes at least seven hours to drive all the way from Glasgow from London. Although it's not impossible to complete this trip in a single day, there are many places worth stopping along the way, such as Liverpool and Lake District National Park , if you want to break up the long hours of driving.

To get to Glasgow, you'll travel northwest of London along the M40 and get on the M6 as you pass Birmingham . You'll follow this road north all the way to Gretna Green until you can get on the A74(M) which will then take you all the way to Glasgow. Traffic is likely on this route, so the trip will probably take much longer than seven hours especially if you make a lot of stops along the way. If you've never driven in the UK before, be sure you familiarize yourself with all the rules of the road before getting behind the wheel.

How Long Is the Train Ride?

The fastest trains from London to Glasgow take about four hours, 30 minutes, but could also take as long as five hours, 30 minutes, depending on the number of stops and transfers. You can purchase a ticket with Avanti West Coast if you want to travel during the day, but it could cost you anywhere between $180 to $240. A more affordable alternative is to take the Caledonian Sleeper night train, where a reclining sleeper seat typically costs between $55 and $60. However, this overnight trip takes seven hours, 30 minutes, which is considerably longer than the daytime train. A first class ticket on the sleeper train is more comfortable, but also more expensive—between $180 and $230—than a basic ticket on the day train.

When Is the Best Time to Travel to Glasgow?

After Cardiff in Wales, Glasgow is the second rainiest city in all of the UK. No matter what time of year you visit, you can count on wet weather. Because summer has the best chance at experiencing some actually nice weather in Scotland, tourist attractions tend to be more crowded and hotel rates are higher. However, the fall is also a lovely time to visit Glasgow as there will be less crowds and you may be able to see some beautiful fall foliage at the nearby Trossachs and Loch Lomond National Park . Glasgow also plays hosts to various cultural events throughout the year like the Glasgow Film Festival in February, The Glasgow International Comedy Festival in March, and the Glasgow Whisky Festival in November.

Do I Need a Visa to Travel to Glasgow?

Despite Scotland technically being a different country than England, neither are independent and both Glasgow and London are a part of the UK. The UK is made up of four countries: England Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and visitors are permitted to travel freely across borders without a visa. The borders are open and there is no requirement to pass through any kind of border control. The process is very similar to crossing state lines in the U.S.

Can I Use Public Transportation to Travel From the Airport?

Only nine miles away from the city center, a cab ride from the Glasgow Airport would only take about 15 minutes. If you're on a tight budget however, you can also make use of public transportation. The 24-hour express bus costs about $11 one-way and tickets can be purchased onboard or via the First Bus App . Technically, it's also possible to walk or bike from the airport to the city center thanks to the National Cycle Network footpaths, but biking would take about an hour walking would most likely take over two hours.

What Is There to Do in Glasgow?

Glasgow may be a historic city, but it's also renowned for its contemporary architecture which can be appreciated in buildings like the Riverside Museum and the Clydeside Distillery . If you prefer older buildings from the medieval era, Glasgow has plenty of those too like Provand's Lordship , which was built over 500 years ago and is one of the city's oldest houses. Among the city's many landmarks worth visiting , the most popular is the Glasgow Cathedral . As Scotland's oldest cathedral, the building has an incredible history, so it's wise to take advantage of the free guided tours to better appreciate what you're looking at.

The train takes between four hours and 30 minutes to five hours and 30 minutes depending on the number of stops.

If you're riding on the day train, expect to pay between $180 and $240. If you take the night train (which is considerably slower than the day train) you'll pay between $55 and $60 for a reclining sleeper seat.

Top 3 airlines serving from London to Glasgow

Very pleasant crew, working hard on a full plane. Delay by a broken seat. However crew made back 60% of the delay.

Delayed and then further delayed with no announcement made so that all the passengers (who were standing in the jetty) could hear. We stood there for well over 20 minutes. We were further delayed through weather but no one explained that to us until the pilot made an announcement when finally on board

As you would expect from a budget airline Left and arrived on time, no frills, not even a glass of water offered But you get what you pay for

I had an emergency escape seat. The attendant gave the extrA briefing to my side of the aisle but didnt direct it at all to the other where my wife was sitting

Speedy boarding is a waste of money when they herd you on to a bus and take you to the plane and it turns in to a free for all …very unsatisfactory

3 hours delayed Don’t understand why when you have paid for ‘speedy boarding’ they call you forward to then make you stand fir another 20 minutes in a confined space before boarding the plane.

The pilot did everything possible to make up the 35 minute delay. His communications were honest, prompt and positive throughout.

Delayed and ketone runway. Was told some nonsense about thunderstorms slowing down flights. Why not just come out and tell customers NATO and BRITISH FORCES were doing defence exercises and were in control of AIR SPACE.

Would have liked the plane to leave on time so I didn’t miss connection upon arrival. Some pathetic excuse as to late departure bought about by easyJet incompetence

Staff were lovely. Seats could be wider/ more comfortable and late taking off

Very unpleasant staff, disgusting service, ignoring requests, refusal to help

Late again rude staff at gate bullying passengers made us stand in the cold 3degrees for 40 mins before they let us board

The usual average Ryanair flight, but we landed 20 min before due time, which was very good.

Enjoyed our flight with Ryanair to Arrecife. Flight boarded pretty much on time, crew were welcoming and very good. Generally good for a frequent low cost flight, Seats could however have been more comfortable.

I wouldn't like to fly with them anymore, I don't like their service, you can hardly take carry-on luggage because they charge you for everything, you can't ask for a glass of water, and the flight attendant tells you that they don't have any, that you have to Paying 3 euros for a bottle of water horrible, I don't recommend it, and they don't have anything low cost, because the plane ticket may not be expensive but what they charge you later for the rest, the flight becomes more expensive, it's the only airline that I don't like it so far, and I traveled a lot.

Staff were friendly and flight was on time. Free drink and snacks would have been appreciated.

Booked through you used Kiwi who did not complete checking in until 24 hrs before departure when the check in was available 48 hrs before hence we sat separately. I will not be using you again.

Not enough trash pickups throughout the flight. Everything else was great.

Overall good, the gluten free food is very hit/miss though and you must tell them you have an allergy days in advance.

All was good. The headphones they supply are of poor quality. The food is good but too much dairy.

Lost my belongings, Crew fail to follow safety and regulatory requirements in 2nd leg of flight from London Heathrow to Copenhagen.

Seating space was crowded and I am a very small woman.

Updates from pilots about delays would make them less frustrating.

When bussing people to/from the gate, don't pack everyone in like a can of sardines and don't send the bus on its way if the plane isn't ready. Waited for about 40 minutes packed in this bus...both ways!

This was a late night flight but the lights was on all the time and kids were screaming and many people were so loud. I was expecting to have a little rest on the plane considering it is late night but this way I couldn't. I think if at least the light would've been off / lower then people could feel they should be quieter.

Everything was great - but then had to wait one hour for my luggage in Verona…

I sat in the last row of seats. On an 8 hour flight they allowed folks to stand and talk and drink in the back area near the toilets the whole time. They were at times loud and in the way. It was a little annoying. The crew on this trip were pretty mediocre and the plane was littered with trash when we disembarked.

‘Slick with memories and nostalgia’: writers’ favourite UK trips by car, train and bus

A drive to Dundee, a Cornish sleeper train and a £2 bus trip across Yorkshire offer spectacular scenery, rare wildlife and culinary delights

From Glasgow to Dundee by road

The sequence M77, M74, M73, M80, A9, M90, A90 may not sound freighted with emotional weight, but those roads are, for me, associated with the sadness of separation and the pleasure of reunion. It’s the route I drive between our home in Glasgow and Dundee, where our eldest boy now lives, having left for university.

When he moved out, that’s the way we went. When we visit or go to pick him up, that’s how we go. Those motorways are slick with memories. The gantries warn you not to drive while tired. They say nothing about melancholy or sweet nostalgia.

The first thing we look for is deer. The M77 cuts through Pollok Park and there are often roe bucks and does cropping the verges. You see the white rump first; if traffic is slow, there’s time to notice small antlers. The deer feel like a blessing on the journey.

We pass Stirling, admiring the dramatic castle on its great rock. We pass Dunblane where, in 2012, we took the kids to see Andy Murray on walkabout, celebrating his wins at the US Open and Olympics. He signed their tennis balls. Those signatures are faded now, but still there, and so is Andy – and we’ll never forget that day.

The land changes as you travel east, offering agriculture’s pleasing geometry: cylinders, parallel lines, arcs, hay bales, ploughed fields, polytunnels. Along the A9, near Perth, I keep an eye out for a particular field with a particular tree. It must be a chore for the farmer to work around, and yet it has never been cut down. Some superstition no doubt attaches to it; bad luck to he who wields the axe. It gives me the shivers.

A good place to banish the shivers is the Horn Milk Bar, a roadside cafe off the A90. The circular dining room appears unchanged since the 1960s, its cult appeal heightened by the fibreglass cow on the roof. When the Queen’s funeral cortege passed the Horn, on its journey from Balmoral, the cow was draped in a union flag.

Finally, the end of the road: our son’s flat. The light in Dundee is like Billy Mackenzie ’s voice – intense, theatrical, heart-lifting, almost too much. It bounces off the Tay and saturates the city. We pass close to the cemetery where the Associates singer lies, then it’s out of the car for hugs and hellos. Peter Ross

The Night Riviera sleeper from Penzance to London

“You have two minutes on ‘The history of the Great Western Railway in the 19th century’, starting now … ”

The man in the famous black chair was my dad, so as I step on to the Night Riviera sleeper (in its green Great Western Railway livery) my mind spins back 40 years to Mastermind, my dad’s double-decker attic model railway and his vast railway library.

Rail journeys don’t begin on the platform; they begin in the mind. As a diner salivates before a meal, so the night-rail traveller visualises before the journey. My sleeper ticket is never bought anonymously online, but always in person at the greatly valued ticket office at Penzance station: “A cabin on the Night Riviera to London, please.” The night train has run to and from this most westerly railway station in England since 1877: it is as old as Black Beauty, Wimbledon and Boots.

Magnus Magnusson: “What was the very last broad-gauge passenger train to leave Paddington on 9 May 1892?” Dad: “The 5pm to Plymouth.” Magnus Magnusson: “Correct.”

Met on board by a steward with a clipboard, I’m shown to my neat cabin, then have a quiet drink in the lounge car as we pull away from platform one to views of a moonlit sea, and we are off.

The night sleeper from Penzance to London dawdles for 255 miles over eight hours throughout the night. It is the earthbound tortoise to the flying hare alternative, but what the rail service lacks in speed it delivers in spirit. I cannot enter my cabin on the moving night train without conjuring Poirot (Finney, not Branagh) .

I sleep in harmony with the rocking carriage, the rhythm of wheel on rail, a seduction of metal movement and memory. I’m heading to London on business and we arrive at 6am. I raise the blind an inch and spot a bronze bear with a bronze hat leaning on some bronze luggage. There is no commuter stampede on platform one, the night travellers leave as they rise.

after newsletter promotion

Fifteen hours later I’m back in Paddington to take the 10.45pm Cornish Riviera sleeper to Penzance, my second consecutive night on a train. This, though, is the best of all possible journeys for we are heading west; it is the journey home.

Dad scored 14 points on his specialist subject, beaten, alas, by “Roman emperors of the first and second centuries”. Christopher Morris

The Coastliner from Leeds to Whitby

Golden city walls, flowering woods and heathery moorland shift slowly past the window. The 75-mile trip between Leeds and Whitby takes 3½ hours on the Coastliner 840 bus . It’s not the quickest way to cover this epic stretch of Yorkshire countryside, but it’s my favourite.

This is a route I have travelled in all seasons: when spring daffs line the beck under pink-and-white blossom, and as the August moors turn purple under blazing blue. Autumn sees the Howardian Hills splashed with ochre and the bronze-brackened uplands stretching out towards the sea. And winter brings changeable dramatic skies, sudden sheets of sleet across the windows, and early sunsets silhouetting ruined Whitby Abbey on its cliff above the Esk.

Over the years, I have got off almost everywhere along the route: to eat raspberry gelato in Malton’s Talbot Yard , to admire 15th-century wall paintings in Pickering’s St Peter and St Paul’s church , and to stroll through autumnal larches in Dalby Forest up to the Fox and Rabbit Inn . But it’s the journey that delights me, especially the last hour. In 2018, the route was voted Britain’s most scenic bus ride and an onboard commentary was introduced.

Heading upstairs for the tables and big front windows, I meet other 840 superfans. One says she catches this bus every other day and never gets tired of the views; another likes to travel weekly from Whitby to Malton for “the scenery, a browse in the charity shops and a cheeky half in the Spotted Cow”.

The less scenic stretch between Leeds and York serves schoolchildren, shoppers and commuters. The less-frequent 840 buses beyond Malton might have a handful of passengers in winter, but in summer can fill up with daytrippers clutching towels and deflated lilos.

For those of us who love this journey, the long meditative miles of drystone wall and cow parsley, spacious landscapes and big skies are an end in themselves. Each journey reveals something new: a glimpse of viaduct along the River Wharfe in Tadcaster or the alien pyramid of RAF Fylingdales’ radar system.

The 840 is one of the best bargains created by the £2 bus fare cap , now extended until December 2024. Before this, a day ticket was £19. Matt Burley, commercial manager at Transdev, which runs the Coastliner, tells me the company is proud of Britain’s most scenic bus route and healthy passenger numbers: “With fares no more than £2, we’re seeing lots of customers travelling with us.”

On the top deck, I unwrap my sandwiches and look out at the unfurling vastness of the moors. Phoebe Taplin

More travel misery for thousands after Euston hit by another signalling fault

London Euston was plunged into chaos for a second day in a row after more signalling failures across the network.

A problem between Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction is causing huge delays and cancellations for passengers.

This is set to last until at least 2pm as trains are running at a reduced speed on all lines.

A video shared on X shows the disarray at London Euston, which is used by more than 30 million people a year.

A Network Rail notice at the station read: ‘We are currently experiencing signalling issues in the Bletchley area, which is causing disruption to Mainline services arriving at and departing from Euston.

‘We are sorry for the delay to your journey. We’re working to fix and get you back on your way.’

It comes after a signal fault on Tuesday left people stranded both on trains and at Euston for hours.

Travellers on the West Coast Main Line, which runs between Euston and Glasgow as well as branching off to Birmingham , Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh, faced severe delays.

Network Rail has apologised and say it’s ‘working to fix the problem as soon as possible’.

A spokesperson said: ‘We’re so sorry for the disruption at Euston, and we’re doing everything we can to fix it.

‘Our signalling system is designed to put signals to red if it detects a problem, a kind of safety “fail-safe”, and has done so on some of the tracks approaching the station this afternoon.

‘We’re working with operators to run trains on the lines and platforms that are working as normal, but there are delays and cancellations as a result.

‘We advise passengers to check with their operator before they travel to or from Euston this afternoon while we work to find and fix the problem.’

A spokesperson for Avanti West Coast said: ‘Trains to and from London Euston may be cancelled or delayed due to a fault with the signalling system affecting multiple platforms at the station.’

London Overground and London Northwestern Railway services are also affected.

• Emirates flight from Dubai to Glasgow diverted to London Gatwick due to gusts exceeding 110 km/h.
• The UK Met Office issued a yellow weather warning on Saturday.
• The flight is scheduled to continue to Glasgow on April 7 pending weather conditions.

Storm Kathleen has diverted an Emirates flight from Dubai to Glasgow to London Gatwick, where affected passengers have been provided accommodation in a hotel. The disruption caused by gusts exceeding 110 kilometers per hour led to the cancellation of approximately 140 flights to and from the UK and Ireland. Several major airports like Heathrow, Manchester, and Birmingham, along with several other cities, have been affected. The UK’s Met Office issued a yellow weather warning on Saturday.

Depending on the weather conditions, the flight is scheduled to continue its journey to Glasgow on April 7 following the diversion on April 6.

“Emirates can confirm flight EK027 from Dubai to Glasgow on April 6 diverted to London Gatwick due to adverse weather conditions. Affected passengers have been provided with hotel accommodation, and will continue their journey to Glasgow on April 7, subject to weather developments. Consequently, EK028 from Glasgow to Dubai has been rescheduled to April 7,” an Emirates spokesperson said in a statement.

“Emirates apologizes for the inconvenience caused. “The safety of our passengers and crew is of the utmost importance,” the statement mentioned.

Emirates Airlines, Dubai’s flagship carrier, and Etihad Airways, based in Abu Dhabi, operate direct flights to various cities across the UK.

According to a spokesperson from Etihad Airways, flights to and from London remained unaffected by Storm Kathleen and were operating on schedule.

“Etihad is closely monitoring the weather conditions and the latest status of Etihad Airways flights is available on etihad.com.”The safety and comfort of our guests and crew is our number one priority,” the spokesperson mentioned.

Earlier, London’s Heathrow Airport issued a general advisory, recommending that passengers arrive at the airport two hours before a European flight and three hours before a long-haul flight.

“We ask passengers not to arrive earlier than these times as this may cause unnecessary congestion in the airport,” it said.

Affected passengers are being provided with hotel accommodation, and will continue their journey to Glasgow on 7 April.

A yellow weather warning has been issued across parts of the UK, including Greater Glasgow, as events have been cancelled due to the strong winds and temperamental weather which has seen rain, sunshine and even snow.

The weather front has caused havoc across the air network today as multiple flights to Glasgow and airports around the UK have been cancelled or delayed.

The warning is in place from 8am until 10pm this evening, as residents are warned of possible travel disruption, power cuts and damage to buildings.

Today's forecast issued by the Met Office reads: "Storm Kathleen brings a swathe of strong winds, especially in the west where gales are likely. Spells of rain turning to scattered showers, though dry for many with plenty of sunshine. Temperatures above average and feeling warm in sheltered spots.

"Staying very windy overnight with spells of rain moving in from the west, this heavy at times. Largely dry with clear spells towards dawn, away from the west."

An Emirates spokesperson said: “Emirates can confirm flight EK027 from Dubai to Glasgow on 6 April diverted to London Gatwick due to adverse weather conditions. Affected passengers have been provided with hotel accommodation, and will continue their journey to Glasgow on 7 April, subject to weather developments.

"Consequently, EK028 (from Glasgow to Dubai) has been rescheduled to 7 April. Emirates apologises for the inconvenience caused. The safety of our passengers and crew is of the utmost importance.”

More travel misery for thousands after Euston hit by another signalling fault

Share this with

London Euston was plunged into chaos for a second day in a row after more signalling failures across the network.

A problem between Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction is causing huge delays and cancellations for passengers.

This is set to last until at least 2pm as trains are running at a reduced speed on all lines.

A video shared on X shows the disarray at London Euston, which is used by more than 30 million people a year.

A Network Rail notice at the station read: ‘We are currently experiencing signalling issues in the Bletchley area, which is causing disruption to Mainline services arriving at and departing from Euston.

‘We are sorry for the delay to your journey. We’re working to fix and get you back on your way.’

It comes after a signal fault on Tuesday left people stranded both on trains and at Euston for hours.

Travellers on the West Coast Main Line, which runs between Euston and Glasgow as well as branching off to Birmingham , Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh, faced severe delays.

Network Rail has apologised and say it’s ‘working to fix the problem as soon as possible’.

A spokesperson said: ‘We’re so sorry for the disruption at Euston, and we’re doing everything we can to fix it.

‘Our signalling system is designed to put signals to red if it detects a problem, a kind of safety “fail-safe”, and has done so on some of the tracks approaching the station this afternoon.
