Active & Sustainable Travel Information
RAH to Vale of Leven shuttle bus service
A new, free transport link between the Vale of Leven Hospital and Royal Alexandra Hospital has been expanded in response to feedback from the public. The link, which replaces the underused service provided by a bus operator, will now be available to staff, patients and visitors. It will be more frequent than the previous service, and will be significantly more cost-effective for NHSGGC.
While the bus runs directly between the two hospitals, if a patient requires transport from another location, the Board’s transport policy can provide financial support, if appropriate, to help them attend an appointment. The timetable for the service is available here.
More information is also available at our news page.
