This company is appalling and shouldn't be allowed to collect hospital patients. My elderly mother…read morewas left waiting at Wishaw General for over 45 minutes. The first driver refused the fare because his shift was ending--an error by dispatch that the office then blamed on my mother, even insulting her by claiming she "didn't know where she was going." The second driver was worse. He interrogated her on previous fares, accused her of lying about even calling from the hospital, and threatened to drive her back to the hospital mid-journey unless she paid upfront. He even stopped at a shop to demand she withdraw more cash. To finish, he took an obscure, unnerving back-road route that left her frightened. When I complained, the manager was defensive and terminated the call after I challenged her standards. This is a disgusting way to treat a vulnerable patient. They provide a woeful service with zero compassion or accountability.

Coakley Bus & Coach
(4 reviews)
Another unfortunate case of a disagreement between me and Stephanie on Yelp here, but such is the…read moreway of the world and the reason for Yelp in the first place, to get real reviews from real people. No arguments with the bus service as such, or even the ugly red colour of the buses themselves, but some individual bad experiences. Chiefly, one of the drivers nudged my Dads car some years ago and denied responsibility. It was resolved though, I should add. I also didn't like their initial tactic of pulling in on front of other buses to steal their customers which they did efficiently with the use of walkie talkies. I also made a passing comment at a bus stop to a woman about how I didn't like Coakley buses because of these things who informed me that 'it's just good business', revealing herself to be Mr. Coakley's sister in law or something. Her initial comment to my remark on not liking Coakley buses was 'Is it because he is Catholic?' as if my decision on what bus to get on for a 5 minute journey is in some way influenced by a search on the religion of a companies staff, going on to tell me about all the money the main dude gives to charity every year. It was obscure. Suffice to say, I waited on the next bus, which wasn't a Coakley one.
I waited 45 minutes at Uddingston cross on Monday 5th Nov 2018. I eventually had to take a 255 to…read morePowburn toll and get a 240 up to Viewpark. On my return journey I was accompanying my friend who is registered blind, and I believe known to the driver. We were approximately 5 strides away from the bus stop, I put my hand out and was astounded when the blonde haired lady driver thought it hilariously to laugh and wave as she sailed on past in an empty bus I might add. I made my thought very clear on Face Book and was amazed at the response from disabled people that this shocking behaviour is common amongst your drivers. You company receives a substantial government grant to run this service, and quite frankly you are not providing this. We the passengers deserve better. I await your response as quite frankly I am disgusted at this behaviour.
Club Taxis

The drivers have all been very nice as I recall, and the cars are just regular Skoda taxis.

They also have a call ringing service which is ideal.
Wellman Cars

We had just left a park and my son left a couple of muddy footprints on his seat due to the climbing. It will come off with a wet cloth!His car was already filthy before this.This taxi driver spent the whole journey making us feel uncomfortable. Snide remarks and shouted a couple of times as well because of this couple of footprints on his seat. I kept my mouth shut thinking if I said anything right now he would turf us out and leave us abandoned. After getting told that all their taxi drivers have card machines he told me I couldn't use card and forced me to go to a bank machine. I nip out to grab money from the machine and he's in the back of the car doing something. He was holding my son down and grabbing him forcefully. He dropped us off and shouted at me as well then has complained that I stood up for myself eventually after having to deal with any of this. Wellman trying to cover up instead of deal with it. Haven't even heard back from them or had as little as an apology.
Impressive service from one of the best private car companies in the area. Cars usually turn up…read morewithin minutes though it is a busy company, and from time to time the receptionist will say how long it will be before one is available. In my experience the taxi will appear before the stated time. All drivers are pleasant and hospitable and cars are kept clean and tidy. Identification badges are always clearly on display for the drivers. Driving standard is also high and I have been well able to relax on any trip. I usually find prices to be cheaper than many other companies and great value for money.
Hamilton West Railway Station
I was surprised this wasn't on the Yelp list already!…read more It's a small station, mere minutes from the bigger Hamilton Central, but it's fairly useful for a couple of things. If you're going to the football, this is the closest stop for Hamilton Academicals FC; the track runs right alongside the ground, and you can see the game if it's on as the train goes by. There's also a little retail park here, well serviced with Sainsburys being the biggest shop. There's also a useful Sports Direct, a Watt Brothers (YAY!) and a McDonalds. Yes, you can get your Maccie D's fix here! There's also a cracking wee football pub across the road, and a taxi rank. A handy wee station to remember.

However, upon landing my husband's cellphone failed and no one knew where he was for 2hrs after the flight landed. Stephen at Braehead kept in touch with me, as they also couldn't contact my husband about his ride. I was anxious, and panicked. It helped to be in contact with someone, anyone -- in Glasgow. And, these guys were patient. Thanks for not canceling the ride. When I finally heard from my husband and got him the info to meet his ride at Point B at the airport, I was so relieved. THE BEST THING (!!!) - Stephen emailed me again - and told me that the driver had my husband, and they were on their way. NOW WHO DOES THAT? Their order was filled, the communication was done... and yet, Stephen went the extra mile and confirmed that everything was alright. THANK YOU, STEPHEN. Brian, the driver ! Thanks for a kind and awesome ride into Edinburgh. These guys are fantastic.... and as a Canadian who appreciates quality customer service... and genuine kindness -- THANKS SO MUCH!

Barnhill station is practically just a stone's throw from Springburn station, but it is the closest…read morestation to St Rollox retail park, which includes a Lidl, Costco and Tesco superstore. It lies just off Petershill Road and the large Royal Mail sorting office - a major employer in the area. The train service is frequent, with trains between Springburn and the west end of Glasgow (Balloch, Dalmuir, Milngavie) calling here. The station is usually very quiet but I would not recommend hanging around after dark, as the nearby area is somewhat dodgy. It is not ideal that Barnhill does not have a ticket office or waiting room, though given it is such a quiet station it is understandable. It would definitely be better to sit in a proper waiting room on a cold winter's night though, rather than the somewhat primitive bus shelter-style ones here. I was bemused to learn that Barnhill does not see any trains stop at it on a Sunday, which gives it the appearance of some sort of ghost station on the ScotRail timetable. I know that the station is not well-used but to have it totally closed on a Sunday is absolute blasphemy. If the lack of patronage justifies its closure, then why not do the same with other quiet stations like Scotstounhill or Hillington East?

So Uber has arrived in Glasgow. I've used this service in many other cities but really wasn't sure…read moreabout using it in Glasgow as I've never really had an issue getting taxis. We'd finished a boozy brunch yesterday and I decided to book an Uber home. Firstly, you need to watch for surge pricing. This pops up as a notification when you try to search for a taxi but I think they could have another reminder in the process, just so you really know what you'll be paying. It came up with 1.5x surge (meaning you pay 1.5x the normal rate because there's a high demand). I just cancelled and waited a few minutes before checking again, and the surge period had finished. I like the app and find it really easy to use - no worrying about where your taxi is because you can see it on the map, no worrying about paying by card or having cash as it's all done in the app so you just hop out at the end. Our taxi arrived within a few minutes and we were on our way. A trip into the city centre for us with our usual taxi company is £12.50, this ride was just £14, so the prices aren't really too different (our taxi company had a 15 minute + wait). I'm not going to say that I'd use Uber all the time in Glasgow but they're definitely handy to have. Also, in my experience (probably 30+ rides with Uber in various cities) the drivers tend to keep the cars in excellent condition.
I visited Glasgow yesterday for a day trip and as we arrived at the bus station I thought I'd check…read moreif there was any Uber cars around and was pleasantly surprised to find there was about 10 cars in and around the area. Über has only recently arrived to Belfast so any time I've checked there is never any cars available. Our car arrived within minutes - I think this is my favourite thing about Uber - you can tell exactly how much time you have before your car is going to arrive. So you can finish off your drinks and walk outside exactly as your taxi arrives. Our driver was pleasant and chatty. He mentioned that he can review passengers and that passengers can also rate him. (Little did he know that we were Yelp Elites and he was getting reviewed anyway). The fair from the bus station to the west end area of Glasgow cost less that £5 and the receipt was emailed to me within minutes of getting out of the car. It just comes straight out of your bank so there's no worrying about stopping for cash. All in all a great experience with Uber and I'll definitely use them again!

We came here 3 hours before our flight, which is a bit excessive. We couldn't even check in our luggage until 2:30 before the flight. Afterwards we made our way to the security screening. There was only one lane open and it took about 30 minutes. There are some restaurants, but not much else to do. We ended up being here even longer since our flight was delayed over an hour due to strong winds.
Another day another airport. Well, the same that I was at a couple of days ago. The good thing…read moreabout this airport that getting through security is so much easier than LA. Even when you check in at the counter. The line isn't that long and there's always a good amount of someone working the counter. International airport and it's easier to maneuver, that's a win in my book. Also there's plenty of weigh stations that you can use for a pound to see if your luggage weight limits is correct before checking it in and having to readjusts. Security is upstairs. Scan your boarding pass to enter through before security. It's alway nice to have something that speedy and easy. The waiting area has a good amount of eating places. There's some fast food restaurants as well as sit down. Shopping is available as well with duty free at the beginning. What I don't like is they won't display your gate until it gets close to barding time. The airport isn't that big so it wouldn't be too much of a struggle trying to get to the correct one.
For most people new to Glasgow, "The Drum" is considered a bit of a no-go area. During my bleak few…read moremonths living in nearby Knightswood, this was one of the many distant train stations I'd hike to in order to avoid the smell of Tesco's extra strong lager and jobseeker's allowance on the bus. Perhaps surprisingly, the station is surrounded by what I could only call "aspirational" housing, including some incredibly large Victorian numbers, and is in a fairly quiet area a good bit away from the less welcoming 50s / 60s embodiment of Drumchapel. As you'd expect, several trains pass each hour and 15 minutes should see you into town.
Chaffinches and blue tits singing in the nearby sycamore trees greeted me as I alighted at…read moreDrumchapel station. As if there could be a bigger possible contrast, I soon noticed a group of neds horsing around in the waiting room of the opposite platform, on this dark weekday afternoon (whatever happened to a thing called school, or work?). Drumchapel is served by trains between Balloch and Dalmuir to the west, and Glasgow Queen Street/Central, Drumgelloch and Larkhall to the east. The trains pass stop by roughly every 15 minutes. There is also a regular bus service that stops right at the entrance to the station - very useful. These are the, very frequent, no. 9's for the most part. There is a ticket office at Drumchapel and the new blue ScotRail colour scheme certainly brightens up the station's somewhat dilapidated appearance.
