First Bus is introducing a raft of new routes in a major improvement to its Lanarkshire network 100 years since bus services first began operating in the area.
Beginning Sunday 29 March, the refreshed network will deliver new, frequent services, some operating every 15 minutes, along with new early morning and later evening trips. Sunday services will also run for the first time on several routes. Existing services will receive timetable adjustments to improve reliability and punctuality and expand the hours of operation.
