Glasgow Subway | The cutest metro in the world | Scotland | United Kingdom | Fo-thalamh Ghlaschu

[@dminalba]

It’s great to see someone from The Netherlands appreciate our wee Subway in Glasgow. I’ve been on the Amsterdam Metro on my last visit to Amsterdam. It may not look it but the cars on the Glasgow Subway are about as old as Amsterdam’s Zilvermeeuw cars (built by Metro-Cammell in Birmingham in 1978-1980) also these were 2nd generation cars. The 1st generation cars were used on the subway from 1896 to 1977 when the Subway closed for refurbishment. The original cars were at first cable hauled until 1935 when they were converted to electric power.

They need to build more lines but with the tunnels to sub-surface dimensions (eg like the District Line on the London Underground)

A 43 year old Glasgow Subway 1980 tube stock train and soon to be replaced. 👍

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Those tiny trains do accelerate very fast

[@alastairorr6318]

Slightly slower than old ones. Takes 28 minutes to go right round the loop in the new trains, 24 minutes in the old trains.

[@Aaron-l6q9r]

The Brand New Glasgow Subway trains will enter service on Monday December 11th, 2023

[@alastairorr6318]

Have fully entered service, zero legacy trains left. All but 3 legacy trains have not broken up.

[@Aaron-l6q9r]

@@alastairorr6318 Yes, you're right.

[@Aaron-l6q9r]

@alastairorr6318 Yeah, no one is breaking on 3rd generation stock trains. And also, the 2nd generation tube stock trains have been scrapped in June 2024. Also, the new Glasgow Subway has been delivered for the 3rd generation tube stock trains have entered service in December 2023.

[@toyotaprius79]

And Dublin can't have one of these before 2040?

[@tobeytransport2802]

The Glasgow one was built in 1800s but has been refurbished recently

[@Firefly414]

[@jM-ez7fq]

Not a chance Dublin has 3rd world transport compared to Glasgow and Glasgow and Scotland are a lot poorer than Ireland economically

[@neilbroadley1177]

soon been driverless trains

[@RailagonBloxStudios]

Driverless trains? No. How about make the other 13 stations accessible or expand the system.

[@alfiekelly5914]

In actual fact, the existing trains can be driverless too. That sometimes happens once the system has shut down for the night. Normally, the driver only has to close the window and press 2 buttons. Apart from the doors, the rest is usually automated.

[@alfiekelly5914]

@@RailagonBloxStudios Expanding the system should have happened years ago, but geological restrictions would make it way too expensive. I couldn't agree more about access.

[@alastairorr6318]

Several years yet.

[@alastairorr6318]
