Effective05/04/2026 - 30/08/2026
We will be operating the X25 & X25A express services from Cumbernauld to Glasgow running from every 15 minutes.
From Easter Sunday (5 April) the X25 and X25A will be run by First Bus and we want to reassure regular users that there will be no interruption to services, which until then will continue to be provided by Stagecoach.
The routes of the X25/X25A will remain unchanged. These are:
- X25: Abronhill – South Carbrain – Kildrum – Cumbernauld Town Centre – Glasgow (Express) (Evening services also serve Mollinsburn and Condorrat)
- X25A: Abronhill – South Carbrain – Kildrum – North Carbrain – Glasgow (Express)
The new timetable will differ slightly but with buses continuing to run from early morning until late and every 15 minutes during the main daytime period. Evening and Sunday services will continue to operate every 30 minutes.
