West Coast Motors warns of 'significant delays' due to road closure

West Coast Motors has had to divert its 15 and 17 services as it warns some passengers may not be served after it was announced that the A810 Duntocher Road will shut.

The closure will commence on Sunday, May 18 and is estimated to last until Sunday, June 1.

We previously reported how the main route between East and West Dunbartonshire will close from the boundary between the council area to the road's junction with Peel Glen Road.

Following the announcement of the work, the bus operator has notified passengers of their diversion routes.

A spokesperson for West Coast Motors said: "We expect these works to cause significant delays on both services, so we ask that you plan your journey ahead.

"We hope this diversion, supported by our service 15, will alleviate the disruption. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."

Passengers from Bearsden will be able to use our 15 service through Bearsden and change over to service 17 at Canniesburn Toll.
