I recently took the airport train from Edinburgh to Glasgow and loved it! Train number 1B33 departed Edinburgh Airport on time at 12.15pm and arrived at Glasgow Central at 12.54pm. The journey took just 39 minutes and was extremely comfortable. The price was very reasonable, which makes this shuttle service particularly attractive. The train was also well equipped and the staff were friendly and helpful. The views during the journey were fantastic and I was able to relax before arriving in Glasgow. This shuttle is the perfect option for travellers who want to get from Edinburgh to Glasgow airport quickly and cheaply. I highly recommend it!
