First Bus will now take over full running of the X25 and X25A Cumbernauld-Glasgow express services from Sunday 29 March.
This is a week earlier than originally planned, restores a complete service for customers and provides reassurance that there will be no interruption as the route ceases to be operated by Stagecoach.
Graeme Macfarlan, Commercial Director of First Bus, said: “Customers can be assured that from Sunday 29 March we will assume full responsibility for the X25 and X25A services.
