I'm pretty sure it is smaller than some of the taller people standing on the platform, they're just not shown lowering their heads when boarding the car
As someone living in Glasgow, it is very rare that I actually use this system as it doesn't cover much of the city at all. It's mainly good for getting to the west end and city centre.
Yeah i do the same! I'll usually just take it from kelvinbridge straight into the centre and back if I don't feel like walking! I suppose it could be convenient to get part of the way to somewhere further and then walking after
The Glasgow Subway is the third oldest in the world after London and Budapest. Construction of Glasgow’s circular twin tunnel route was started before Budapest's but as it was a much larger and more complex project than Budapest's original cut-and-cover route it took longer to complete, giving Budapest second place and Glasgow third.
расширить куда сложнее, чем построить новое. А там историческая застройка, решили что лучше пусть так. чем вкладывать миллиарды в новое строительство.Да и на самом деле там его и в таком виде хватает, это же не мегаполис типа Лондона того же.
I'm from Glasgow, & have been on its Underground trains many times. The subway system, which only goes around in an "0" shape, was built in 1895 & hasn't been expanded since then! But it's still very useful for getting around the city. Until recently it still used the ancient carriages!
I love the glasgow subway! It's super easy and convenient to use :) The lines are just two circles, an inner and outer circle which run in opposite directions! Not super complex like the London tube which has so many different lines! hahahah (Not to mention its very cheap!!)
They should be running underground trains like this on the old Post Office Line in London. Only other place I know of with a mini line is the capital of Azerbaijan.
In my town Sergiev Posad there are narrow roads and two railway crossings. Thousands of tourists and pilgrims come to the town every day. Because of this, traffic jams constantly occur in the town. Sergiev Posad stands on the hills. It would be nice to build such a small subway in my town to relieve traffic.
NOOOO. Holy moly, I dunno about trains but that platform is right from my nightmares (where I find myself standing on a narrow platform in between 2 speeding trains). Great, now I know this claustrophobe's hell exists irl.
