Once in the city centre, the OVO Hydro is a three minute train ride from Glasgow Central. If you arrive at Queen Street, you’ll need to walk or get a bus to Central to continue your journey by train.

The OVO Hydro has its own dedicated railway station – Exhibition Centre – allowing easy access from the city centre and suburbs. There are six trains an hour (around every 10 minutes) from Glasgow Central station, departing from Platform 17 (low level).

The Exhibition Centre station is approximately 600 m (7 min) walk from the venue. 

Glasgow is a great cycling city. With a Nextbike station located outside the venue and multiple cycling paths, the campus is easily accessible for cyclists.

The city is linked to the National Cycle Network and has designated cycle lanes on many roads.

The OVO Hydro is accessible via many cycle lanes and paths including one route that runs alongside the River Clyde.

A covered cycle rack is located in the main piazza between the SEC and the SEC Armadillo.

Bike Hire

The city has a popular bike hire scheme similar to London. Nextbike Glasgow has 170 bikes for hire in 31 locations, available 24/7. You can rent a bike via nextbike’s Android / iPhone App by the on-bike computer, or by phoning +44 (0) 20 816 69851. Rental starts at £1 for the first 30 minutes.

Glasgow is a very walkable and easy to navigate city.

The Clyde Walkway runs right past the SEC, providing an invigorating start to day time exhibitions and conferences, or a scenic stroll to evening events.

There are two foot bridges, which cross the Clydeside Express Way (dual carriageway connecting the west end to Glasgow city centre) at both the front and rear of the campus.

Two pedestrian bridges traverse the River Clyde near the SEC. Bells Bridge connects the campus to the Science Centre and BBC while, a little further east, the Clyde Arc (affectionately known as the ‘Squinty Bridge’) carries both vehicles and pedestrians.
