Rail
The nearest railway stations to Creative Clyde are
the Exhibition Centre at the SECC and Partick interchange
close to the Riverside Museum, which are serviced by a
suburban railway service from Glasgow's Central Station.
Queen Street station is just beyond that. Between them, the two
stations offer excellent access to a huge range of destinations
including London and four trains per hour on weekdays to Edinburgh,
as well as links north to Stirling, Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and
Inverness.
What's more, these two main line stations sit at the heart of
Glasgow's suburban rail network, which is the largest of its type
in the UK, outside of London.

Underground
Glasgow's underground subway system is affectionately known
as the 'Clockwork Orange'. Yes, it might simply go round and round
in a big circle, but it does make getting from A to B easy and
quick - a complete circle of the 15 subway stations takes about 15
minutes. The nearest subway stations to Creative Clyde are:
Cessnock, Kinning Park, Ibrox, Govan and Partick.
For more information visit Strathclyde Passenger Transport.
Bus
There are regular buses running throughout the day from the city
centre and surrounding areas that service the SECC, Pacific Quay

The new Fastlink system will
provide an improved transport system along the Clyde, linking SECC,
Pacific Quay and the New South Glasgow Hospital with the city
centre.

landscape. The M8 and M74 have junctions near Creative
Clyde, which links the area to the rest of Scotland and beyond.

north while the M74 which has recently been extended is the
major route linking Glasgow to the south. Glasgow

Most of the large employers in the Creative Clyde area provide
some parking spaces for their staff and there are large, good value
car parks beside the Glasgow Science Centre and SECC.
