    Shields Road Subway Station

    I first parked at Shields Road by accident, I'd gotten myself lost in the confusing streets of…read moreTradeston and couldn't find Bridge Street. I now prefer Shields Road, so it all worked out well in the end. It's easy to get to off the M8 or M77, so is very handy if you're coming from the south or east. It's located opposite the beautiful Scotland Street School which is always nice to look at early in the morning! There is a multi storey carpark as well as an outdoor parking area, meaning there is always lots of parking spaces no matter what time of day you arrive. I always just park in the outdoor area as I hate the monotony of driving up and down levels trying to find a spot. From the outside carpark it is maybe a 3 minute walk to the underground which even on a wet weather day is bearable (with a brolly). The station itself is small and simple. One platform, inner circle on the left, outer on the right and trains come about every 5 minutes so you're not waiting long. From Shields Road it's 8 minutes to Buchanan Street, or 6 minutes to St Enoch (my two main stations). For car parking and a return underground ticket you'll pay £5 which I think is great value, especially now that onstreet parking in the city centre has gone up again. I often take advantage of The Fish People shop when returning to my car to pick up some fresh fish for dinner that night, which is very handy. I can't think of what Shields Road would need to get this to be a 5 star review, I guess I'm just not that passionate about public transport. Fun fact: I was petrified of the underground for at least a year.

    Park and Ride! (£5 all day parking inc return subway ticket)…read more For years I've either caught the train or driven the hour to north Glasgow on the M77/M8. I've often wondered about Shields Road Park and Ride subway station, but until this week never had the opportunity to check it out. Well blow me down if this isn't the best way to get into the city centre without all the hassle of fighting my way through that last few miles of gridlock, or trying to find an affordable parking space. I used the facility late morning/midweek. There were plenty of parking bays available outside the station, and probably plenty in the multi-storey car park too. It was quite a straightforward procedure. I took a ticket at the barrier on my way in, parked, then showed it to the lady at the subway ticket booth. Five pounds was handed over in return for a return subway ticket and the parking ticket which would get me out through the barrier on my return. Worked a treat, and really suited my travel plans. Its opposite the Scotland Street School Museum so I managed to get a little photo opportunity to boot. Win win!

    I was recently sick in the back of one of these taxis. I immediately apologised and told the driver…read morethat I would pay for the cleaning. He pulled over again and said that we wouldn't move until he was sure I was ok. As I wasn't sure it wouldn't happen again, I opted to get out of the car and walk the final part of the journey (at least a 15 minute walk). Before he left he spoke to his manager. I also spoke to her and gave my email address, asking that I get sent the invoice once the car had been cleaned. I paid my fare and got out. Less than five minutes later I got a call from the office saying that my payment had failed. When I explained I didn't know how they said that the cost was £71 ( original fare was £31) and said that they had already added the cleaning fee to the fare price but until that point no one had told me, or the driver, this. We agreed the driver would come back to take the payment but I explained that I wasn't home yet and I would be there shortly. Five minutes later the office called me again and without any greeting on the phone immediately asked if someone was coming to pay the driver. I once again explained that I was on my way but I had got out of the car 15 minutes away from the address they sent the driver to. I did eventually get home and meet the driver to make the payment. He could not have been any nicer or patient with me and was so nice about the whole situation but the office staff lacked any kind of empathy, sympathy or patience and made an already awful and embarrassing situation so much worse. The driver treated me with so much respect and patience but the office were so rude and demeaning. I usually swear by this company but I definitely wouldn't be recommending them any time soon.

A taxi was booked, I waited for half an hour on the Tuesday, before the taxi turned up. Then last night, I was waiting about two hours, but never turned up. I phoned myself, asked what happened to the taxi. The office staff member asked, if I was looking for a taxi. I explained that I was nearly there for 2 two hours, he then just hung up on me. They were told on both occasion, that I was going to Glasgow Central Station for a train back home to Greenock. There was to be "Storm Diana" making an appearance. I had nasty thoughts that the trains would be cancelled, and me stranded in Glasgow. This company should have their Operators Licence revoked, if this is the way they treat passengers, especially visitors to Glasgow.
