==== Option 1 ====
Get the bus 255, which, incidentally, costs 4.75 pound, from the Buchanan bus station, and step off on Main Rd. junction with Fallside Rd in Uddingston (next to a church). Walk down Fallside Rd. until you get to the motorway and Uddingston services , quite busy with traffic heading South. It's best to hold a sign with the motorway number (AKA [[M74 (GB)|M74]], [[M6 (GB)|M6]]) or to approach drivers and ask. Though being a very good option to get sure, fast and long distance lifts, be aware that the bus is very expensive! 4.50£75£, and no way difficult to blackride it (neither to pay the cheaper fare till and get off later, the driver will ask you for the difference.
==== Option 2 ==== It is also, according to local hitchhikers, quite possible to hitch south by walking down N. Hannover St from Buchanan Bus Station, turn left at Cahedral St and then left again at Stirling St and walk until ou get to the lights just before the motorway onramp, bear in mind that people go all different directions from here, west , east, south etc, so a sign and taking any lift going to Uddingston/Hamilton (where there are service areas) but being aware of shorter lifts might be a good idea, also if you try this option do come back and update this article.   ==== For going to Galashiels or Peebles, would highly recommend going ==== One option proposed is to go to Edinburgh using the 900 Bus ( use megabus uk website for 5 pounds or lesser tickets to Edinburgh) then in Ediburgh walk down to North Bridge take bus number 29 / Bus 49 to Eskbank, Tesco ( in Dalkeith ) { 1.5 pounds only } . Here go on A7 and hitch hike to Galashiels . On this route there are cars which also head to Peebles. Though it may seem a little longer, but its a faster and sure way to reach Galashiels or Peebles, which otherwise you may just be stuck on some country side road where people are just trying to reach to the next village and not going anywhere near your destination. In 3-4 hours from Glasgow you could easily reach Galashiels.
