    Kelvinbridge, the stop I'd use every day of my school life in Glasgow. Imagine those platforms, rammed with people, and no safety fence. The subway is truly iconic and deserves its place as Glasgow's heart. Also, often forgotten by some, it's the third oldest metro system in the world.

    They look futuristic - but retro futuristic. As in what someone in the 1970’s thought the future would look like in a tv sci-fi.. And I don’t mean that in a negative way- think they look great. Only thing is while white looks great - only if they maintain it with frequent cleaning. White is never forgiving to any amount of dirt and it will get greasy, dusty, streaks down it.

They were wooden bodied and aparently for the last few years overhauls consisted of banging in longer nails.

    What a nicely made production! Cute and compact, much like the two-thirds scale subway itself.

    I’m old enough to be able to say I have travelled on all three models of our subway trains, and have the ability to see a first generation coach at my place of work.
    If you think the subway trains are noisy, them you haven’t experienced the first generation trains as the were wooden bodied, and the doors were open like you’d see in old lifts with manual doors.
    The power pickups were around mid way up the side of the coaches, with two wires and contacts that took power to the motors, unlike today’s third rail.
    Those old coaches would rock side too side; the bodies that is, as the joints in the framing had loosened off over many years of use… those were the days!
    I would use my dinner break (lunch hour) from work and have a wee hurl on the subway just for the fun of it…!
    And St Enoch Station; the subway one, was what is now a Cafe Nero back then… how they bypassed that station when they built the current station was a feat of engineering! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The drivers did announce the stops as we went along. I don’t recall seeing any of the old rolling stock, though being mid-June, perhaps they’re mostly in storage even then. The lack of digital signs to show the next stop did bother me. I feel that’s a key feature for any metro.

    Will expansion ever happen ?

    • @winco68
      @winco68 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No. It isn’t possible due to it being one circular line with 2 tracks one clockwise one anti. Any expansion would require the boring of new tunnels and the building of interchange stations. It would be prohibitively expensive and unnecessary given the small size of the inner city. Many areas outside the centre can be reached by surface rail from the 2 main stations.

    Does automatic operation mean unmanned trains? Where I am, subway trains are fully automatic, but they still have a person in the cab.

      Yes as far as I'm aware the plan is for them to be driverless in the Copenhagen/DLR style with no cab

    Oh dear , I seem to remember the outgoing rolling stock being new back in the day, They were supposed to have ended " the shoogle ". I also remember being taken by a family friend to see the really old trains back in the mid 1960s.

    03:01 yep. Likely like the national rail system one company is probably in charge of the network and lines whilst another is in charge of the trains and carriages. People complained about that on the new high speed GWR trains running from Cardiff to Exeter, that the ride was really bumpy. But that’s what happens when the train company develops high speed trains separately from the infrastructure which doesn’t get updated to match! 😂

      At the time (late 1800s) it was often known as the Second City of the British Empire. Not the best legacy, but it was comparatively both very big and very important

    As an American, who is used to giant subway/train cars, and as a 6’5 guy…I could feel my breath literally catching in my chest at the size of these things. 😅 Geez they’re tiny. I’d get a bit claustrophobic at first. But beyond that that, it’s amazing how clean, well-kept, and nice every thing is. The stations are beautiful, the train themselves look very nice - even the older models were miles better than what we have over here in most of our cities with train/subway systems. Very, very nice. Our train lines could take some cues and lessons from this!

  • @Brendissimo1
    @Brendissimo1 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Oh wow those are short! Looks like a person my height (6'0) could really only stand up in the very middle, if at all. But it also looks like widening or raising the height of the cars at all would basically require you to redo the entire system. What a unique artifact of that early age of subways.

    I wonder why they're so bouncy cuz Stadler did a great good job on Berlin's ring railway 'S-Bahn' with the new BR483/484 types, without any change in infrastructure. They run absolutely smooth all around. 😊

    I've never been to Glasgow, but they look really smart and match the existing decor so well with the white/orange proportions.
    Having been to Switzerland recently and noticed the manufacturer of their trains (which were incredibly smooth and quiet, departing Locarno) I concur that Glasgow didn't skimp on the quality, and it is probably the tracks making it shaky 😅
