Glasgow Underground Breakdown

[awnok]

I miss the smell.

[marjhol]

By the look of him in the second part of the film it's not his first can either! Is it a young Rab perhaps?

The safety system seems to be phone to get the next train to push the broken down train to the next station. Alternatively if evacuation is needed the driver shoves a metal bar onto the live rail and everybody is herded in complete darkness down the tunnel to the next station while he has a primitive lantern. If you see a white light coming towards you do not panic it will be another herd of people broken down going in the opposite direction.

[killieguyno1]

[xummij]

1974?! You'd never think so, judging by those hairstyles!!!

[jamierourketen]

that was the hairstyles of the early 70s!

[hellooldchap]

great vid

[incongra]

The voice over- is that "Dorothy Grace Elder" bya any chance?

[incongra]

Can't believe the guy at 00:28 is smokin a fag AND drinking a can of McEwans. And this is an "official" film? The seventies were magic!

[noyoureafuckintube]

So so so good!

[Thisnameistaken11]

Love the guy with the tin. So Glasgow.

[scottishlowoflow]

its 1895 vintage

[biggles12]

What an absolutely amazing bit of film!

[raymyhill2]

check the guy wi the beer can

[HartfordTommy]

What was the vintage of that rolling stock?

Very old indeed--maybe 1920? 1905?

I love the old trains.  Great clip.

[BillAnderson65]

They were the old victorian line subways - modernised in the 20's. they ran until the 1970's when the 'clockwork orange' was brought in during the modernisation of the underground

[Glenglaz]

That's fantastic

[DJPIGG]

Brilliant video!

Thanks for posting it here.

[PureDeadMental]

Wow, that was fascinating. I loved these old trains and the amazing smell we used to get down there - we were told it was 'Ozone'.

[ceska31]

Pure dead brilliant!

[loolootrav]

I was in an acutal underground break down about 4-5 months ago between govan and partick, was a bit diff to this

[TC40102N]

Where did you get this from? It's fascinating.

[bigangie1]

Here, check out the "young dudes" sitting in the carriage. They look like theyve just walked out the uni, hehe. Amazing how styles and hairdo's have come full circle!

[subwaymark]

Interesting

[bluegrit]

Cool. The Underground looks a bit different these days though!

[leod87]

fascinating stuff

[InspectorBlakey]

Love the Glaswegan accent! "Gimme a puush!"

[deadbydayinblack]

thanks man....nice to hear kind words about my Granddad.

Just wish I could get it on dvd so I could have a "hard copy" to keep for ever

[lorri789]

Cool stuff, all of it. Thanks
