Hi, Stuart,

What is the approximate drive time from Glasgow (I'm assuming Buchanan Street) to Oban?

Thanks!

It varies by service, depending on average traffic conditions, but the fastest is 2 hours 31 minutes, the slowest 2 hours 57 minutes, departing from Buchanan Bus Station.
A lot of work has been done to try to get such an exact timetable.

It should run faster for now, as the timetable has been written to add the extra stops when the legal paperwork is complete.

There is also a suburban Glasgow stop at Gallowhill (Paisley) M8 junction 27, for the Abbotsinch Shopping Park.
