Decision to scrap Glasgow night bus service prompts outcry

Poverty campaigners, women's safety advocates and night time industries among those condemning First Bus plans

A decision by a private company to scrap Glasgow's only night bus service has prompted an outcry from poverty campaigners, environmentalists and women's safety advocates as well as uniting pub and club bosses and politicians in condemnation.

When First Bus announced on Monday that it was withdrawing its weekend night bus services across Scotland's biggest city from the end of July it resulted in an overnight backlash.
