To reach the main entrance from Killermont Street, go round the Tensa barrier outside the AMPM cafe then through 2 sets of automatic doors into the concourse. There's a REACT beacon outside the outer door then another above the information point on your left. Please note that the barrier, which we found at the time of our survey, is seasonal and there will be no outside seating during winter.

To Walk

Although you could cross Gordon Street, turn right and take the thirdd left into West Nile Street and continue to Killermont Street, we're recommending the following route as it passes more interesting shops and features.

Leave the station via the main entrance, into Gordon Street, turn right (east), continue across Union Street and Mitchell Street into Buchanan Street then turn left (north). Continue on the right-hand side, crossing St Vincent Place and West George Street, before continuing up six, seven then six steps. You're now outside the Buchanan Galleries; continue across Bath Street and follow the pavement round to your left into Sauchiehall Street.

Take the first turn right into West Nile Street then continue (north) across Killermont Street, then turn right.

Continue (east), past Langs Hotel and the forecourt of the bus station and locate the wall to your left, beyond the forecourt. You can turn left here, and go round the barriers in front of the cafe, before turning right towards the concourse; or continue (east) and take either of the three entrances into the bus stance area, on your left. Note, if you find a down kerb, you've overshot and reached the first bus access road.
