- A drone fly through of Glasgow's Abandoned Railway - The Glasgow Central Line or the Glasgow Caledonian Railway. From the Kirklee Station then through the Botanic Garden's Station to Kelvin Bridge Station. The line opened in 1894 and closed in stages 1959-1964. Now forgotten underneath Glasgow.
You do wonder if in the future these lines can be redeemed and brought back into use. I know that wont be cheap, however I can imagine a scenario in the not to distant future where all cars are banned from City centres.
Even if all cars are electric, they will still need to be parked up and have space consuming charging points which will also be very costly.
The air maybe cleaner however the gridlock will still be there. Convienient carbon neutral rail travel in our cities has to be the way.
When you look at the construction of those tunnels, AND the station, you can see that a hell of a lot of work went into BUILDING these!
Incredible footage. Thanx
All that infrastructure wasted. Such a shame. I’d put money on that being a popular route to Glasgow Central if it reopened.
Yet its nearly impossible for it to reopen now theres new housing schemes and commercial areas that run where the track did
I've not been down there in years! That was our wee place to hang out when I was in school! That's where u went for a smoke at lunch or a bevy at the weekend! There's been a few raves over the years too! The atmosphere is amazing because it's so still, no noise nothing, all you can see and hear is the water dripping off the damp walls, super peaceful 😌 Right down the other end there's another tunnel a few streets away but it was always flooded so I don't know where it goes, anyway nice blast from the 2000's so thanks, defo going to go back soon for a look, doubt it's changed much!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing
Love the atmosphere. Shame we lost the railway though. The Botanic station's onion dome features were pretty unique too, now all flattened.
Hopefully one day in the near future they will be in use again as part of a Glasgow metro system. I think the idea is to renovate and rebrand many of the existing suburban national rail lines and reopen some of these abandoned ones as part of an integrated system. The current Subway may become known as the ‘circle line’ or the ‘orange line’ in this scenario. While Queen street low level and Central low level would become the metro stations of their respective national rail stations. Much like Euston or Kings Cross St Pancras underground stations.
excellent - THANK YOU1
