Riding Glasgow's Final 2nd Generation Subway Train!

On Friday, 28th June 2024, the last of the Glasgow Subway's 2nd Generation Trains was withdrawn from passenger service following 44 years of passenger service, so I made a trip up to Glasgow to have one last ride on the final train!

i will miss them, stay quite near the subway have many stories and very fond memories thanks btw x

[@MartinH_222]

Great video Michael! Been quite some time since I last travelled on the 'Clockwork Orange' and it's 2nd gen stock, but was really nice to see everyone enjoying them one last time.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Glad that you got to ride them on the final day, great video and they will sadly be missed

[@MikeWillSee]

Thanks Simon! Funnily enough as you commented this I was in the process of watching your video where you rode on the 2nd gen trains! Anyway you're absolutely right that they're very good trains, well loved by many, and will be sorely missed!

It was nice talking to you at Partick that day! I grew up with these wonderful trains and I'm very sad to see them go. Now the Subway is nowhere near as interesting to me anymore. That's us at 3:56

[@MikeWillSee]

Yeah I'll definitely miss these trains too! It was good to see you there that day!

3:49 "break ass for emergency ass" 💀

[@MikeWillSee]

Glaswegian humour for you

Managed to travel on my last car no.119 in September 2023. Love the Glasgow subway so will miss the MetCamms. Great video btw.

[@MikeWillSee]

Thank you very much, I'll definitely miss these units as well!

The last cars from the TransClyde era are going away. What a run.

That horn kind of sounds like a car horn!

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

Oh wow! Nicely done bud! I'm glad you got to see the final one and ride round the loop for hours! I do hope to go on the subway soon lol although ofc it'll be the new stock I'll be riding!

[@MikeWillSee]

Definitely worth visiting at least once in your life!

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

@@MikeWillSee Yeah I'm sure I will do that aha! 👍🏻😆

[@lazerjetjordanscottcrawford200]

i was their on for the first bit then did a full circle and i also got interviewed by bbc

[@MikeWillSee]

Nice!

[@caylebsrandomvideos3749]

Goodbye 2nd gen trains!

[@MikeWillSee]

2:33 It would seem I've had a 'so much time and so little to do' moment

[@SuliPlayz5264]

ah yes, the defunct manufacturer of metrocammell

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Flabbergasted Mr Marshall wasn't there! Good content though.

[@MikeWillSee]

Yeah there were surprisingly few big-name KZbinrs there(at least that I recognised) - glad you enjoyed the video!

[@blueaviation024]

What is the newest subway train of Glasgow???

[@MikeWillSee]

It's called the 3rd Generation Stock and you can see a few of them in this video. I also plan on releasing a video about the newer trains in the next couple of weeks as well!

[@caylebsrandomvideos3749]

Did that guy give you a model of the train?

[@MikeWillSee]

No haha there was only one and it was his, but he did say that he'd bought it off Ebay so presumably there are others in the world

[@user-lw6sx7xi9q]

3:50

[@colonelWalakiraii]

Did anyone notice at 3:50 it said ‘Break *** for, Emergency ***😮

[@liamphilbin7256]

qqqqqqqq🤗

[@ArchiezAviation]

@@liamphilbin7256wtf are you saying?

[@ArchiezAviation]

anyways I’ve seen it on the train irl lol

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

I was on one of those back in 1984!

[@Tylerthescottishguy]

You can't post this BTW it's private and the driver told you you can't post the tunnels

[@MikeWillSee]

Really? I don't remember them saying anything like that!

[@Tylerthescottishguy]

​@@MikeWillSeemy pal was there the driver told everyone not to post the video of the tunnel as its private the driver could get fired for it

[@MikeWillSee]

@@Tylerthescottishguy ah right I hadn't realised that. I'll see if it's possible to edit that part out!

[@Tylerthescottishguy]

Ty it's alr just the driver was being nice and letting people put phones in the cab and you also got her voice in it​@@MikeWillSee
