PEOPLE travelling between Scotland’s two biggest cities this weekend can do so for free to the mark the launch of a new fleet of buses.
Citylink last week announced their plans for a brand-new fleet of vehicles on the 900 Service – comprising of 18 new stateof-the-art luxury double-deck coaches between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
And to celebrate the launch, anyone travelling on the route on Saturday or Sunday will do so for free.
The deal is available for single, return or day return tickets on the service and can be accessed by booking in advance online at citylink.co.uk.
Robert Andrew, Stagecoach regional director for Scotland said: “Millions of people use our services between Glasgow and Edinburgh every year and we’re delighted to have launched these fantastic new vehicles which offer greater comfort and style than ever before. To help celebrate this investment, and the fact that we are now offering more seats than ever on this route, we decided to offer free travel on the 900 service this weekend.
“We hope this offer will benefit those who regularly use our services and encourage some new customers to give coach travel a try.”
The new fleet marked a £7 million investment in the route, which will operate up to every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
The new coaches have boosted capacity by adding more than also 32%, 2500 extra seats each day to the route.
The buses, launched by Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary Michael Matheson, are comprised of 79 seats with extended leg room than before, with other amenities including USB and wireless chargers, reading lights and fold-down tables.
