We walk around the corner to the bus stops on Union Street outside Central Station and board the 1630 First Glasgow Lanarkshire Connect service 267 to Rutherglen (Main Street/Richmond Drive), arriving there at 1656 on Sunday afternoon.

* First Glasgow's website shows an amended timetable during the COVID-19 outbreak, and states that the 267 is half hourly, but none of the Sunday timetables are up, so I'm going off Google Maps departures which took into account Lothian's timetables, so I expect it'll be the same for First's.

I think we've basically covered all we can on Bute at the moment so we now board the 14:31 West Coast Motors service 493 to Rothesay, Guildford Square, harbourside, arriving at 14:45 Monday afternoon.

Fair enough. Google Maps obviously hasn't registered the amended timetable for COVID-19. I feel like planning any moves is going to be a challenge :lol:

We return to the mainland on the 1510 Caledonian MacBrayne service CM3 to Wemyss Bay, arriving there at 1545 on Monday afternoon.

I'm trying to use operator's actual timetables now I don't entirely trust Google/bustimes.org at the moment!

We're in good time for the 15:54 Stagecoach West Scotland service 585 to Stevenston Cross (nr Schoolwell Street), arriving at 16:59 Monday afternoon.

I think you meant the X36 here, the 585 doesn't go to Glasgow!

Here we walk the 0.2 miles to Glasgow Central, where we board the 19:13 ScotRail service 1L63 to Sanquhar, arriving at 20:33 Monday evening.

Correct you are, sorry, isolation brain taking over!

That appears to have been the last of the departures for the day, so in the morning we return for the 0712 ScotRail service 1L52 to Crossmyloof, arriving there at 0833 on Tuesday morning.
