Service 340 - Withdrawal of Route

2 weeks ago Fri 23rd May 2025

McColl’s Travel confirms that Service 340 (Helensburgh / Vale of Leven Hospital – Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley) will operate for the final time on Saturday 28 June 2025.
The tender has ended because NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGGC) intends to run its own internal transport on the corridor from Sunday 29 June 2025.

Our position

Initial information suggests this new NHSGGC vehicle will be open only to NHS staff and patients with confirmed appointments, and will not accept hospital visitors or the wider public. 

What this means for passengers

At present there is no direct public bus for hospital visitors. Traveline Scotland (0871 200 22 33) and SPT’s journey planner can help identify indirect connections.

A note from McColl’s Travel

We have been proud to serve staff, patients and visitors on this route for many years and understand the importance of reliable links between the two hospitals.

Thank you for travelling with McColl’s. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact our Customer Services team on 01389 754 321 or customer.services@mccolls.org.uk.
