We take the two minute walk to Argyle Street and there board the 1555 First Glasgow service 2 to Faifley (Whitehill Crescent on Faifley Road) that arrives there at 1645 on Tuesday afternoon.

Not that a mere twenty minutes will make a difference to the game but there were two services beforehand at 1539 and 1548 that we could have got, and we also didn't need to walk to Argyle Street as the 2 stops right outside the art galleries :)

From the bus stop on the other side of the road, opposite Lawmuir Crescent, we then board the 1651 First Glasgow SimpliCITY service 2 to Shettleston (Sandyhills Road), arriving there at 1833 on Tuesday evening.
