| Comment | Aye, start and end points make a difference. If your doing something like Scotstoun to Central Station then the expressway is the way to go, but starting on something like Saint Vincent Street to head west it's a different story.
It's not always expressway vs Dumbarton Rd. Take something like Bath Street to Anniesland. Great Western is your definite shorter distance, while taking the expressway then going up Balshagray and Crow is a lot faster, but adds distance.
One of the major ones that surprise most folk is Springburn to Patrick. The majority of people will want to take the springburn expressway to the M8 to the clydeside expressway. Its a fast route (off peak), but it's a big distance route. A much, much shorter way is to take Hawthorn to Bilsland to Queen Margaret to Byres (or reverse). It'll add about 10 minutes of driving time going that way, but it's nearly a fiver cheaper. |
