Service Changes from Sunday 13th July 2025

From Sunday 13th July 2025, we will be making further improvements to our network of services across Lanarkshire:

Service 5 will be extended to Hamilton Bus Station and operate via the Palace Grounds Retail Park in both directions, providing new direct links from Mossend, New Stevenston and Jerviston to the shops and cinema complex.  The Saturday frequency will be doubled to every 30-minutes and the last bus to Bellshill will now operate almost one hour later than at present. 

Service 41 will be extended later into the evening on all days of the week with the last bus from Hamilton now departing at 20:10 and from Lanark at 21:00 on Mondays to Saturdays.  On a Sunday, the last bus from Hamilton will depart at 19:15 and from Lanark at 20:15.   On Monday to Friday mornings a new earlier morning bus is introduced from Carluke to Hamilton to help shift workers.  On a Sunday morrning, a new earlier bus from Carluke will run to Motherwell then continue to New Stevenston, Holytown and Airdrie as Service 42A.

Service 42 & 42A will be extended to and from Larkhall to replace the 251.  The service will run hourly during the day Monday to Sunday.  Late evening and some early morning Sunday buses buses will continue to operate between Airdrie and Motherwell only.  Buses will no longer serve the bus stop within Wishaw General Hospital grounds, but will observe the same stops as the 41 on Glasgow Road.  The service will operate later into the evening between Wishaw and Coatbridge on Mondays to Saturdays to help shift workers at both Wishshaw General Hospital and Monklands Hospital. 

On a Sunday, buses will operate the full route during the day, providing new links from New Stevenston, Holytown and Calderbank to Wishaw General Hospital, Monklands Hospital and Coatbridge. Additionally, Sunday daytime buses will operate the Monday to Saturday daytime route around Calderbank, improving access to the bus for residents of the village. 

For residents of Larkhall, the 42 will provide new direct links to Calenonian Retail Park at Craigneuk, the New Lanarkshire College Campus, and Motherwell town centre.  

Service 147 will operate from Monklands Hospital to Kilsyth via Cumbernauld in the evenings and on Sundays.  The timetable is now available on the SPT website.  

Service 247 will operate one journey per day at 18:15 from Monklands Hospital to Kirkintilloch via Cumbernauld on Mondays to Fridays.  On a Saturday, the service will operate one early morning trip from Monklands Hospital to Kirkintilloch then for the rest of the day, an hourly service will operate between Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch.  The Timetable is now available on the SPT website.

Service 251 is withdrawn but the route is covered by an extension of Services 42/42A.
