BANKIES are being warned that a bus stop on a busy route in the town is closed. 

First Bus Glasgow announced the closure on social media shortly after 7am on Thursday.

Travel bosses said that stop 608048 on Kilbowie Road has been closed due to works.

The social media alert wrongly identified the stop as being 'at Southbank Shopping Centre' when it's actually close to the Clyde Shopping Centre.

The bus operator's Twitter feed is advising people to walk up the hill to use the stop opposite Singer railway station (stop number 6080536) instead.

However there is also the option of taking a rather less steep walk through the shopping centre itself to the stops on Chalmers Street.
