wanderer Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Plenty of buses put on last year for Noel Gallagher for getting people back into town afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Easily walkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Also within walking distance of the Underground stations at Govan, Ibrox and Cessnock (about 20 mins) which will get you back in to town in about 5 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to drive back to Aberdeen instead, I'll take a lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes got a stagger the next day,so he may take you. I'll tell him to meet you at the entrance when it's finished. 44 minutes ago, Squirrelhumper said: Easily walkable.

Fairbairn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm almost tempted to go to this but assume it'll end up being a massive NedFest so think I'll give it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 There are limited hotels in the area. Best go back central and get a good hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've no idea who books these shows but they clearly are not very good at their job. Id happily go and see Run The Jewels and Danny Brown, but i refuse to be surrounded by absolute whoppers who've paid money to watch a an old fud like Eminem play ass like that and other assorted guff.

Depends if the gig goes on to 11 you'd probably not make the last train. You'll get a bus on Paisley Road West until a little later (although not much through the week, I think the last bus is about 23:45).

dandydunn Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 How far is the walk back to city centre from the gig She doesn't like being like a sardine in a bus or train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there you're only 2 stops and abour 3 minutes to Glasgow Central. You could probably walk that in about 40 minutes. You'd need to check what time the last trains were mind you.

Exglasgowasc Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Dandy, I would say the easiest way walking back is to come out Bellahouston Park on to the Boulevard(you're at that side anyway). Turn left on exiting the park and walk along the Boulevard to the traffic lights. Vehicles can only go left or right but you can cross over and walk straight on along Fleurs Avenue. Once at the end of that you will see Mosspark train station(probably no chance of a train at that time). on your right. Don't turn right unless you want to go up to the Sherbrooke Hotel for a swifty. At the end of Fleurs Avenue keep going straight on across the main road. It looks like a dead end but there is a cycle path/walkway that takes you down the side of the rugby pitch at Bellahouston Academy. Just keep going and it will bring you out at a pedestrian bridge going over the M8 at the school's main entrance. Turn right at the end of the bridge and follow the path. It will bring you out on to Clifford Street at Gower Street at the old Bellahouston primary school (playground currently a car wash i think). You can't fail to see Paisley Road West. Couple of boozers there called the Park Bar and the Kensington (worth going in to wind up the locals as an Aberdeen fan). Don't get in one of the taxis there that sit in the layby outside. They will charge you three times what the actual fare is into town. You can continue walking into town or be lucky enough to catch the last buses (number 9 normally) approx 11;50pm. Hope this assists you. COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stayed in the premier inn/travel lodge, whatever it is under the road, Paisley Road West?? I went out for a fag with an Aberdeen top on and the receptionist gave me a funny look and said "I hope you're not going any further than the front door with that on" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
