Why don't you use the train? Bridgeton Station takes you right to the SECC Station.

You'd probably be quicker and almost cheaper getting the train from duke street/parade to Partick. Changing at Partick and going back to the SECC.
Then it's a short walk to the Hydro from the SECC train station.
I don't know what time the trains stop on the way back though.
Enjoy.

No buses run directly from Dennistoun. My advice would be to take a train from Bellgrove to Partick, and then to the S.E.C.C.

I'd go by train - I always do as its quicker and easier - no stopping. You can either take train from Alexandra Parade/Bellgrove to Charing Cross with about a 15 min walk or walk down to Bridgeton (10 mins) and get the train from there to SECC. Alternatively you can get the train from Alexandra Parade/Bellgrove to Partick then change over platform and go back one stop to SECC. I know this sounds a bit of a faff but it isn't. Enjoy!!

It looks like the general consensus is for the train.
I'm genuinely surprised the buses from town to the parade are always so busy when you have a regular-ish train service during the week. that the price of bus fares since I moved here (14 years ago) have more than doubled. that the areas in which a direct route from the Parade have been slashed (especially with the removal of the 42 service to the west end)//

Yep easiest way from Dennistoun to SECC is train to partick then crossover to other line and get on train down to SECC. The opposite way coming back and much cheaper.

I second the train option. Had a nice trip to Partick/Byres Road today and it was only £3 return - great value compared to the buses.
