This video makes me so proud of my roots. I left Glasgow as a 10 year old in 1985 and i remember being a wee boy on these trains. We just don't have these in NZ.
Great video, thanks for posting. I'm fairly sure that the person at 0.42 sitting next to the two women is me - I was 16 and a half at the time and a student at Hillhead High (the passengers are getting on at Hillhead). The subway shut down in May 1977 to get ready for modernisation.
you are so wrong,the people of glasgow where never so happy to live in the tennements,a great sense of belonging.the hippy labour planners decided to rip the heart out of the glasgow psyche by building horrendous housing estates in the middle of nowhere,but if they were smart they could have saved a lot of money by modernising some of the beautiful victorian "slums" as you call them.

I love the way that just as the narrator talks about "bugs in the electronics", the video goes all glitchy.

Wow, the old old victorian trains.
Wow, what a difference from old old victorian trains and stations.
What was the name to the piece of music used from 7mins on wards, it was also used for the North tonight theme!! in 1980!
I remeber the smell as the train came to the station.
The carriages interior actually look nicer in this clip
Gota love that smell.
Sounds like Pulstar to me.
Still smells the same...
