- Glasgow's City Union line links the tracks north and south of the Clyde but it isn't used for passenger services. We use it to move our diesel fleet between depots, as we're doing in this clip, taking a train from Shields Depot to Eastfield Depot.
This needs redone in real-time with a map and captioning of the junctions etc.
I worked directly under there in the arches in King Street for about 18 months. Boy did they rattle when a train went over the top, but maybe one or two a day at most.
How about a real-time version of this in daylight? Why isn't this used for passengers?
Any chance of posting a real time version with some captions please? Would be great to see a recent high quality ride along this railway in real time.
100% Should be in passenger use
from depot to depot i love the union line should be reinstated with bells on xxx
This should be eletricfied and reopened to the public and reopened up and a brand new train station at saltmarket i hope the line reopens it would cause less congestion in glasgow but it will propberly need funding for the line section to reopen and to be eletricfied and operational.
... and maybe reopen the old Cumberland Street station at the same time? Create a train/bus hub there? Green transport. Fewer cars on the streets. Just saying...!
Hardly a secret railway when it used to be the main entrance into St Enoch. There's also still voices for reopening it for public use as part of Glasgow Crossrail.
The video started from Corkerhill Depot, not Shields Depot. Shields is passed at 0:20 on the right hand side. Just sayin'. 😄
Real time version be great
Even slowed down this is too fast to see what is happening. If you can't do a commentary then please focus on some station names to help.
If good enough for DMU’s then good enough for the public. Incidentally, if Transport Scotland would also electrify the line between Cowlairs West Junction to Kelvindale you could have a back up IF Q st High Level ever needed to close (land slip/wall collapse) as well as other route options example: Alloa -Milngavie or Balloch
Think of what you could do with this line if it was still in passenger use I could see it being rather vital electrify the Anniesland line link the commuter line there with it you could run trains to Milngavie and balling down there
Bowling 😬. The Anniesland line has a major engineering constraint between Possilpark and Lambhill cutting. The bridge for the Canal isn’t high enough and wide enough to take OHLE
hey scotrail, 2 questions, 1:what train is this your riding on? a 170? 2: if Banksy we're to ever vandalise/create a masterpiece one of your trains, what would you do about it?
Can’t be a 170. You can see a Gangway at the right hand side.
Possibly a; 153/156 set, 156 or 158.
And any graffiti should be removed, creates a bad image to ScotRail
The City of Glasgow Union Railway, joint Glasgow and Southwestern and North British. Was an important freight route down to 1960, as freight diminished, it still linked the separate North and South electric networks. Ironically, rather than electrifying the link, BR maintained a small stud of ex-Caledonian steam locos, whose Westinghouse pumps could work the brakes on the electric units, to haul units between the North and South systems! In modern terms, the junctions at Bellgrove face the "Wrong Way" toward Springburn, rather than toward the Cross City low level line, which is busy enough as it is without bringing more traffic from South of the River
Had no idea ths track thst goes through salt market through gorbals through past Glasgow green and parts if eastend were in use as thought itvwas defunct as necer ecer seec any traibs along thzt bridge
Too fast over city union
