Two days one night in Glasgow

[Johnny Vodka]

There is always the subway drinking game. Get off at every stop, wander off in a random direction & get a drink at the first pub you come to.

Struggling to see what's so special about Glasgow subway. Surely has to be the most basic subway ever?

Only one older in the world

It’s a constant annoyance that it was never extended, despite plans to do so.

If only it had gone to Shawlands/Queens Park...

The Subway really only serves the West. North, South and Eastend need to be connected. So either a combination of the 1937 plans and the 1944, or the 2010 plans with an extra spur to the north.

One of the difficulties is that apparently the original tunnels are an unusual size, requiring smaller gauge tracks and smaller trains than usual. This puts the costs up today. But if we want cars off the road, and we do, then they have to do it.
