Bridge Street Glasgow Subway Early 1970s

An 1896 built red Glasgow Subway train with wooden bodied carriages emerges from the 11 feet diameter tunnel at Bridge Street in Glasgow. Prior to the introduction of new trains in 1980, the name "Shoogly Train" ("shoogly" meaning "shaky" in the Scots language was used because the design of the cars allowed a degree of movement or "shoogle" between the backrest and squab of each seat. These trains were withdrawn in 1977 and the Subway was shut down then while a three year upgrade took place. This slide is by an unknown photographer with no date. Clearly before 1977 with the fashions pointing to early to mid - 1970s.
