Train 126 interior, Glasgow Subway, SPT.

            A selection of mixed pictures from Glasgow. Nothing particularly special, and a bit of a change from the type of content I usually post (scale models and 999). I hope you like them anyway.

Interior picture of an empty train car 126 of Glasgow Subway. 

New rolling stock has started to appear on the world’s third oldest subway, as the third generation begins to roll out. While this is exciting and a generally positive change, I will miss the second generation when it is inevitably withdrawn. 

Built by Metro-Cammell in Birmingham, and beginning service in 1980, these 3 car trains operate from Broomloan Depot in Govan. The fleetnumber of 126 identifies this as a Power Car, with Trailer Cars numbered 201-208. 

It is impossible to get lost on the Glasgow Subway, it runs in a closed loop with Inner and Outer Circles consisting of 15 stations. It began operation on the 14th of December 1896. It is operated by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). The Subway links with other forms of transport at certain stations. The station for Partick is within the ScotRail train station and has a bus station directly outside. St Enoch is a short walk from Central Station and Queen Street, while Buchanan Street Station has a linked walkway to Queen Street Railway Station and is a short walk from Buchanan Bus Station. Some subway stations have Park & Ride parking facilities and many have bus stops or, with Govan and Partick, bus stations attached. 

While improvements to the Subway are always welcome, it will be a sad day when these trains are retired. That being said, with the Transport Museum having one of the 1st Generation rolling stock in their collection, I would fully expect to see them add to that when the time comes.
