Glasgow Underground

[@DaveTerrasidio]

Brilliant, a lovely little system. Third oldest in the world. They should definitely expand it I think.

[@LanarkshireRailfan]

yeah when i was wee my pal lived in hillhead but i lived in cathcart so i couldnt just take the train there

[@Voxac100b]

A brilliant way to travel. I hope they extend it

[@lucasnuns]

I think the Glasgow Underground a very interesting system. The thirld oldest and never gets expand, but today they goes for a third major modernization if new Stadler Driverless trains and practically rebuilding the entire system to 21st standards. I just imagine that the Glasgow at least need a new subway, but this time building in full scale, and have stations link if old system, and create integrate network.

[@RailPreserver2K]

Glad they preserved the old underground station

[@danw1374]

Glasgow is a fairly big city, would be good if they extended it to serve more areas.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

glad they kept some of the old rolling stock for preservation.

[@falseteeth5621]

The guy who say it works better than London's underground because it's younger isn't really hitting the point. The main reason is that Glagow's underground is just 6 and a half miles long and has 15 stations. London's underground is 250 miles long and has 279 stations, therefore there's a LOT more to go wrong.

[@NoddyMaccy]

False Teeth Not to mention the fact some of the signalling is over 100 years old.

[@colinvespa4709]

That's Victorian engineering for you. Modern stuff seems to break down after 20 years or less.

[@Garylpool1]

Only 4 underground networks in The UK , London, Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow. London's , Liverpool's and Newcastle's are part of extensive networks which continue to grow

Kelvinhall used to be Partick Cross and Merkland St was close to where Partick station is now.

[@James-gc5if]

I bet it doesn't only cost a pound anymore.

[@Cowinspace]

+Jamie Dawkins £1.40 for a single or £2.70 for an all day. Still about the cheapest way to cross the city.

[@Cypher791]

+Cowinspace £1.60 single, £3.00 return =D

[@manusmacgearailt667]

@@Cowinspace Can you travel the full circle on the one fare or do fares increase with distance?

[@Cowinspace]

@@manusmacgearailt667 You could ride it all day on one ticket as long as long as you don't pass through the ticket barriers at the entrance to any of the stations.

[@clairehislop8321]

@ the railway channel do you have a favorite station?

[@NoddyMaccy]

@glasgowtommy Yeah, which may be why it works better. It's a circle, its easy for engineering works. Look at the map of the Glasgow Underground map and then look at the London Underground map. We have a huge system that needs updating badly. The Northern line has the oldest signals in the world.

[@TheGrowler55]

It should have been expanded yrs ago, just saying from Glasgow 😎 🇬🇧

well kelvinhall is just a bit further on than the old merkland street

[@TomCrippsTrains]

what is the song called at the end?

[@jpbdude4223]

It’s called “Glasgow Underground”

[@glasgowtommy]

@DeanieBoi07 the Glasgow underground is the 3rd oldest in the world behind London and Budapest.

[@TomCrippsTrains]

i got that on dvd

[@chrisgemmell2742]

Now the price is more than double for a single and less trains running i waited 12 mins on a train the other day

[@wullymc1]

12 mins? Wow how did you manage to keep yourself occupied for that amount of time? Fuck me mate get a grip!!!!

The reason not many people have heard of it is because it's not that big. It works better than London Underground because it's not as old.

[@unclemeat660]

What a weedy underground network.

[@jamesmclaren2268]

fuck off

[@jazzman1626]

Uncle Meat There is one very important difference between the underground of say, London and Glasgow. If you speak to a complete stranger on the Glasgow underground they don't freak out but converse in a pleasant manner with you. On the London Underground nobody even looks at each other for a second. They just sit and nurse their hysterical fear.

[@jazzman1626]

John Stots London is one of the most unfriendliest of cities in Britain there's another contrast.

[@jazzman1626]

John Stots I lived in Edinburgh so I'm not a country bumpkin. People have the same capacity for good or bad no matter if they live in a city or in the country anyway. I find you insulting so you prove my point. Good day to you.

[@robertmcmillan3638]

You would probably struggle to find someone in London to casually converse with that speaks enough fluent English to keep a conversation going nowadays.
