It's a car centric zone round Braehead. Was built with cars in mind only. Pedestrian access is very poor. Cycling access was added later but is really pretty shit. Anyone on foot or on a bike is at risk due to the incredible volume of cars that can build up along with super wide access roads that you can't easily cross. During busy times it can take that long to get your car out of the car parks that frustration builds up and cars are driven at high speeds at the earliest opportunity.
The lack of a decent train link was a poor call in my opinion.
The suggestion of a train to Yoker then over on the ferry is a good one. A bit expensive at £3.00 each way per person on the ferry though.
Cycling is another option as the route from the city centre is completely flat with a decent cycle path on Kings Inch Drive. Just be careful when the path ends. If you are not experienced in cycling then I would suggest getting into the nearest car park and then take it from there or stick to the pavements. |
