In light of the forthcoming Red Weather Warning tomorrow, please attribute the following statement to Duncan Cameron, Managing Director, First Bus Scotland:

"Following strong advice from the relevant authorities including the First Minister and Police Scotland, First Bus will be temporarily suspending all services across Greater Glasgow ahead of the red weather warning.

We’re advising all passengers to follow the advice given by not travelling tomorrow. Our network of routes will begin to be withdrawn from 0800 to allow us to return all vehicles and colleagues to their depots safely.

These measures are being implemented in the interests of the safety of our people and passengers which are our utmost priority.

Services will not resume until after the worst of the weather has passed and routes have been assessed as safe for operations to recommence. Pending the status of the red weather warning, we expect services to gradually be reinstated after approximately 1800.

Please continue to visit firstglasgow.com and our Twitter/X feed for ongoing regular updates."
