First Bus will take over two express services between Cumbernauld and Glasgow.
The company has announced that from Easter Sunday, April 5, the X25 and X25A will be run by First Bus.
The operator reassured regular users that there will be no interruption to services, which are currently provided by Stagecoach.
Graeme Macfarlan, commercial director of First Bus in Scotland, said: “We are pleased to be taking on the operation of these express services and look forward to welcoming new customers to enjoy the high-quality journey experience we deliver.
“This will be a seamless change for customers and we simply advise everyone to check the new timetable before travelling.”

The routes of the services will remain unchanged as follows:
- X25: Abronhill – South Carbrain – Kildrum – Cumbernauld Town Centre – Glasgow (Express) (Evening services also serve Mollinsburn and Condorrat)
- X25A: Abronhill – South Carbrain – Kildrum – North Carbrain – Glasgow (Express).
Mr Macfarlan added: “This investment expands our services into more communities outside of Glasgow and is further evidence of our ability to build a sustainable bus network in the Strathclyde region.
"We’re ensuring continuity for passengers with no gap in provision.
“Handled correctly, this demonstrates that services work well in the commercial market and that customers benefit from rapid, operator‑led solutions.”
The new timetable will differ slightly but there will be buses from early morning until late and every 15 minutes during the main daytime period.
Evening and Sunday services will continue to operate every 30 minutes.
