Scottish Citylink has announced a new coach route between Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh city centre, with stops in Renfrew.
The 903 service launches on 24th October 2026. Citylink says it will provide the only direct coach journeys between the airport and Edinburgh city centre.
Journeys will operate up to hourly between Glasgow Airport, the SEC, Glasgow city centre and Baillieston.
Alternate trips will then extend either to Bathgate and Edinburgh or to Uddingston and Blantyre.
The service will also call at Edinburgh Haymarket, Yoker, Scotstoun, Harthill Services and Ingliston Park and Ride.
West Coast Motors will operate the route on behalf of Citylink using four Irizar coaches on Scania chassis. The coaches have USB charging points, fold-down tables and reading lights.
Journeys within the SPT area will be covered by the £2 fare cap. Single fares between Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh city centre start at £10.70.
Scottish Citylink managing director Simone Walsh said: “This is a exciting new route for lots of reasons and one that we’re so pleased to be announcing. It will represent the first direct coach transfer between Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh city centre, it offers new journey options that customers don’t currently have available, and it provides the perfect complement to our longstanding AIR service between Edinburgh Airport and Glasgow city centre.
“We’re delighted to be working alongside the team at Glasgow Airport on this, to help them deliver another reliable and affordable public transport link for their customers to benefit from. We very much look forward to welcoming customers on to our new services.”
Gavin Birch-Williams, managing director at Glasgow Airport, said: “We are delighted to join Citylink in celebrating the launch of its new 903 service which, for the first time, provides a direct connection between Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh city centre. “Connectivity is essential to ensure that Glasgow Airport is accessible to a wider reach of people, and we want to make those journeys as easy as possible. “We will continue to work with our partners to strengthen those connections, and we look forward to welcoming passengers travelling on the new route.”
