Please subcribe to my new channel dedicated to biking - its a great outlook on the world / @timbikes5963
It sometimes its a great window into seeing what transit videos I may post in the future from that country

[@dmreid9620]

I love our subway, I use it every day and always on time

[@chloemoore2367]

Yeah

[@eurovisonfm]

No time table

[@toddhunter5257]

I remember going on the Glasgow underground as a kid and it was fantastic.. I love trains and that subway is amazing now its all been done up. The sound of the electric motor and the squeaky brakes I remember, is it still called the clock work orange?

[@allancopland1768]

Yup. Clockwork Orange.

[@roberthuron9160]

One item left unmentioned,was the fact,that the line,as built,was cable operated,complete with grips,and steam power! Totally unique,and found nowhere else! The only comparable operation,was the late,lamented Brooklyn Bridge cable operated elevated shuttle service! Later that was replaced by electric through services by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company,and there were through Long Island Railroad operations to the Rockaways! Joint services were done,and it was intense! Now,Brooklyn Bridge has NO TRANSIT, OR BUS SERVICES AT ALL OPERATED OVER IT! ONLY BRIDGE WITH THAT TITLE! A trifle of a side note!! Thank you,Tim,most interesting video!! Thanks again 👍!

[@railphotoblog]

Hello! Thanks for sharing! Subway in Glasgow really looks like a mini-train)))

[@troiscarottes]

Some of the platforms look surprisingly narrow. Is it quite safe ?

[@allancopland1768]

Yup, they are not really too narrow. Gotta love the Clockwork Orange.

[@SoumyaChowdhury24081995]

You are right. But the crowd is less

[@chloemoore2367]

Yeah kelvinbridge is not safe or bridge street tho

[@jacksprat9344]

Jeez! It's changed (in appearance, anyway)! It was the first underground I'd ever been on and I thought it was pretty cool. I was there in 1973-74 from Monterey, CA and they had the old style cars. You know, square shaped with the wooden frame interior and floors. I immediately started thinking I would see an old Sherlock Holms walk aboard. Yeah, I know. Victorian era history was confusing to me. But my imagination was unbridled! And they still had those big old light bulb fixtures instead of the flourescent tubes and the old smoke darkened tile on the walls. It was gloriously underlit (sp)!

[@pmk2000]

It is an interesting subway, tiny and cute. Even smaller than LU deep level lines. As a Hong Konger, like typical big Asian cities, we have busy stations with long trains, it is a big contrast compared to the clockwork orange. I'm glad we also have Metro Cammell trains in Hong Kong, and will be retired in coming years unfortunately.

Hello. I'm Dinan Takac. A bit some a Kiev Subway in Ukraine will soon in next few years. But will video upload (2021 Video Record Version in 2022 due to war not record in video) and Other Subway is Minks. Saint Petersburg. Moscow and Stockholm.

[@patrickrichmond9896]

Glasgow is a small city compared to London. But I am glad to see this type of service.

[@stuartbarr5691]

Glasgow has the largest rail network outside london in the UK. Also, the underground only covers the centre of glasgow, small part of the south and a reasonable amount of the west of the city. The north and the east dont have the underground

[@AddisonShiu]

The platform is small o.O I think it is dangerous when it is rush hour :/

[@the180crew]

Glasgow has a small population, rush hour isn't that bad to be honest considering there are buses and train lines above the surface as well.

[@erwannleligerien3771]

Razvan J, Glasgow is not a megapolis but it's not small.

[@threesixnine369six]

Greater Glasgow has at least 1.2 million people and goes up to 1.7 depending on what the metropolitan area is considered to be. The Subway doesn’t have much of a rush hour as it doesn’t cover vital commuting paths, but trains can get quite crowded and they are vital to Glasgow. The city has the second largest urban rail network in Britain outside of London with around 170 stations of which roughly 60 are in the city proper.

[@pingoleonfernandez7638]

Perhaps it is never crowded enough to become dangerous.

[@scottyerkes1867]

Tiny but very useful!! Thanks Tim for sharing😀😀

[@Finntastic99]

I’ve been here many times and I enjoy it. Still wondering about the tiny platforms though...

[@WillTheTimeCome2]

Hi, Tim! I've watched many of your videos and find them to be very interesting, informative and well filmed. There's one tip from me: could you film the ticketing process (or film it in more details) in your next videos? I mean ticketing in Rapid Transit Systems. It's always interesting to know how different systems control how their users pay for the rides. Well, it's simple with subways, but not so simple with trams where people can simply pass to a station without coming through a tourniquet. Although, I think, it would be interesting to watch the operation of various rapid transit systems during a rush hour.

[@timosha21]

Sorry for the late reply - for whatever reason I did not see this comment! That is a good idea: I will try to incorporate it in the next batch of videos!

[@carinasimoes637]

WillTheTimeCome2 lllo

[@grahamsawyer831]

sadly the station at Hobbiton is no longer in use...

[@allancopland1768]

The Clockwork Orange. You can never get lost on the Glasgow Subway.

[@chloemoore2367]

You can look throw the tunnel at cessnock and see a subway train approaching kinning parj

[@maryzu36]

I'm going to Scotland

[@Finntastic99]

3:26 it’s really windy!!

[@redphone1438]

It is so cute it's very small. Narrow platforms and only 3-Car Trains. Are you allowed to film in the Glasgow Subway or its prohibited and you had to get permission?

[@fredtramdriver]

Perfect 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@tctravel3450]

Where are the people? It looks so different then Asia :)

[@GrijzePilion]

That's because Scotland, surprisingly, is not in Asia.

[@xxTheminemanxx]

GrijzePilion xd

[@divox9pqr]

Has the line been expanded, or is it still the basic 6 mile circle of the 1890's?

[@stuartbarr5691]

still the same. it only covers the centre of glasgow, small part of the south and a reasonable amount of the west of the city. The north and the east dont have the underground

[@trollface5084]

What is a problem to build second line from north to east via centre?

[@elpaisaeselrey5700]

Y Edimburgo también tiene metro? Esas Ciudades tan pequeñas?

[@Emergency_services_Scotland]

Where the bit at 7.46

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

ENJOYED THE VIDEO SUBSCRIBED

[@mikewizz1895]

I went on Glasgow subway Today and the carriage were about 10 meters long! So small!

[@PublicTransport4U]

Look at the nearest window at 4:13. Peekaboo!

[@ElmerCat]

Adorable!

[@user-ll2zl7de5e]

Опасные платформы, очень узкие. Интересно, а больше народа бывает, чтобы в вагоне стояли? И как на платформе люди расходятся, когда два поезда одновременно.

[@timosha21]

я не снимал когда было час пик! поэтому думаю что такое случае бывает что люди стоят!

[@user-ll2zl7de5e]

Понял.

[@eestiestoniamapping2891]

SOOO CUTE-TIFUL!!! 😍

[@GN-fw5ny]

How can a subway be cute?!?!?!

[@efeilhanyuce7552]

Very little stations & trains.

[@s71402san]

I think that when it was opened the Glasgow city budget was too low to build a full-sized Tube, so they wanted to build a smaller Tube...

[@nath1606]

s71402san Glasgow is on top of solid rock as apposed to clay, which London is on top of, which is much harder to cut through

[@the1aviationer]

i love it

[@aarontasfia]

These trains are Scottish railways

[@Noe-ph2lf]

great video :)

[@johnthedude1000]

AHHHHHHHH the phone zombie

[@davidwonderland6584]

This very weird like that different colour at the back car it is???... See 6:24sec. and 6:51sec.

[@donaloflynn]

The carriage is decorated to mimic the livery of the original Glasgow Subway trains from 1896. Note that the logo on the neighbouring carriage at 6:51 says "Celebrating 120 years of Subway". You can see that text again on the end of the carriage a few seconds later.

[@davidwonderland6584]

Dónal O'Flynn Really? What I am thought it is! Very classic suitable of this train isn't.

[@teleportedfunk]

there should be some guard rails on the platforms

[@KittyCatgaming-nt7sc]

IM IN SCOTLAND IM 1 HOUR A WAY FROM GLASGOW

[@davidwonderland6584]

Why this? See6:24 and 6:51 sec.

[@stuartbarr5691]

are you referring to the different coloured carriages? if so thats to do with the colours of old carriages from many years ago

[@arkyfer197]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@user-jd4zw3dv7l]

ой скрипучее какое , и размеры удивляют

[@mikedrown2721]

👍👌👏😊❤️🇺🇸

[@mikewizz1895]

There are very few stops! (For a train line, The only one.)

[@Revolver1981]

There's 15 stops. It's the 3rd oldest Subway in the world but it was never extended.

[@mdfzlypalypopai6226]

[@chloemoore2367]

I hate St. George’s crops eww 🤢🤢🤢🤮

[@chloemoore2367]
