The new timetable for the 903 is up. I'm seriously wondering if this route was designed by AI, because this is a complete mess. Blantyre to Glasgow Airport via Renfrew Bridge? It seems like a poor attempt to put a million local services into one.
So essentially this is two different services, Blantyre to Glasgow Airport and Haymarket to Glasgow Airport via Bathgate. Both service use the M8 Baillieston corridor and the Expressway onto Renfrew Bridge.
A much more logical decision would be to just extend certain 900 journeys and run the Blantyre service across the 240X corridor. Very strange to not serve either Hamilton or Motherwell. Meh it's probably a deadrun service for Parks, and it gives Uddingston a direct service to Glasgow BBS.

Mental route lol, Basically starting from Dechmont at Drumsagard, Says Dalton Cottages but doesn't make sense to start from that stop since it will need to continue along the road to turn at the Roundabout

Presumably cause it'll be run by parks so nice way to reduce dead miles

Positive news for the locals of Bathgate. How will this service compare to the train? Surely it will just not get used?

Think West Lothian having direct access directly to Edinburgh and Glasgow airports is a massive change.
