The
directions below are meant as a general guide. If you are
having difficulty coming from further afield and would like
help with specific directions, please do not hesitate to email
me. Maps are included at the bottom of the page.
The most common route from the M8 and M77:
Take the M77 and come off at Junction number 2. Follow signs
for the B768 Pollokshaws at the traffic lights. You will see
the Cowglen Savings Bank on your right. As soon as you see the
Savings Bank, take the right turn at the first set of lights.
This will lead you onto Boydstone Road. Follow the road for
about a mile, and you will come to the railway bridge
junction. Go under the bridge, and the church is 200 yards on
your right.
An
alternative route if you stay on the south side:
From leaving Shawlands, follow signs for Barrhead, and take
the Thornliebank Road after leaving Auldhouse. Follow the road
for a couple of miles (through many sets of lights) and as
soon as you see Thornliebank train station, take the first
right. The church is roughly 200 yards on your left.
By Bus:
The 45 from Union Street stops within walking distance of the
church. Monday to Saturday there can be up to one every ten
minutes. On Sundays the service is once every twenty minutes.
Please note the bus is for Kennishead.
Bus
numbers 56 and 57 will also drop you reasonably close to the
church. For full bus timetables please consult:

By
Train:
Both the Kennishead and Thornliebank train stations are very
close to the church. From Kennishead, walk down towards the
flats, and join the main road (Boydstone Road) from Kennishead
Avenue. If you walk 100 yards you will see the church. All
trains which terminate at Barrhead stop at Kennishead.
From Thornliebank, walk up to the bridge, and cross it. You
will see the IMO car wash, cross that junction and you are on
Boydstone Road. The church is 200 yards on the left. Pretty
much all the trains on the East Kilbride line will stop at
Thornliebank.
The general times of the trains are as follows, please check
for specific train times online (www.firstscotrail.co.uk) if
you intend to travel during the rush hour periods.
Glasgow Central to Thornliebank: 12 and 42 minutes past the
