  • UK: A collection of clips recorded on the Glasgow Subway. The system is also known as "The Clockwork Orange" because of the colour of the cars and the fact that it comprises just one, circular, route. Recorded 8th May 2003.
    The first three clips are at Partick station and the last one at Bridge Street station.

    The Glasgow Subway is an underground metro line in Glasgow, Scotland. Opened on 14December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Athens Metro. Formerly a cable railway, the Subway was later electrified, but its twin circular lines were never expanded.
    The line was originally known as the Glasgow District Subway, but was later renamed Glasgow Subway Railway. It was so called when taken over by the Glasgow Corporation who renamed it the Glasgow Underground in 1936. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians resolutely continued to refer to the network as "the Subway".
    In 2003 the name "Subway" was officially readopted by its operator, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). A £40,000 study examining the feasibility of an expansion into the city's south side is in progress.[2]
    The system is not the oldest underground railway in Glasgow; that distinction belongs to a 5 km (3.1 mi) section of the Glasgow City and District Railway opened in 1863, now part of the North Clyde Line of the suburban railway network, which runs in a sub-surface tunnel under the city centre between High Street and west of Charing Cross. Another major section of underground suburban railway line in Glasgow is the Argyle Line, which was formerly part of the Glasgow Central Railway.

    The Orange Versions with SPT Printed on them gave me nightmares after I went on for the second time with my Dad.

    Good getting to see the 'red' (orange) livery, was much better looking like this IMO.
