Glasgow Transport 1980 - Part 2, Glasgow Underground

[sitedrm]

I love the way that just as the narrator talks about "bugs in the electronics", the video goes all glitchy.

[alingstone]

This video makes me so proud of my roots. I left Glasgow as a 10 year old in 1985 and i remember being a wee boy on these trains. We just don't have these in NZ.

Great video, thanks for posting. I'm fairly sure that the person at 0.42 sitting next to the two women is me - I was 16 and a half at the time and a student at Hillhead High (the passengers are getting on at Hillhead). The subway shut down in May 1977 to get ready for modernisation.

Comparing this to what I've seen some 30 years later is quite astounding!

Wow, what a difference from old old victorian trains and stations.

[Bigfinlach]

This is the underground as we Glaswegians of a certain age remember - not that wee daft orange thing!

The carriages interior actually look nicer in this clip

when they tore the tenements down they ripped the heart out of glasgow and when they replaced the cars they ruined the underground

[manicmacintosh]

Most of the tenements were slums!! That's why they were ripped down. I'm sure the poor people who had to live in them were glad to see them go!

[jamierourketen]

you are so wrong,the people of glasgow where never so happy to live in the tennements,a great sense of belonging.the hippy labour planners decided to rip the heart out of the glasgow psyche by building horrendous housing estates in the middle of nowhere,but if they were smart they could have saved a lot of money by modernising some of the beautiful victorian "slums" as you call them.

[gorlestonboy]

I remeber the smell as the train came to the station.

[tszatsza]

I love the underground, the smells. Thanks for posting this.
