Glasgow Subway

This underground system opened on this day in Glasgow 112 years ago and was initially called the Glasgow District Subway, it was renamed the Glasgow Underground in 1936 which lasted until 2003 when it became rebranded as Glasgow Subway.

I used it back when I was at the other University in the city and found the service to be reliable, compared to the one in London the trains are a lot smaller – in the number of carriages as well as their size. Always thought that the London ones were huge until I came across double decker ones in Sydney.

Note that this video incorrectly describes the last station as Partick Cross when it is then revealed to be Kelvinhall – great concert venue where I first saw Steve Hillage back in the seventies.
