Glasgow Transport 1980 - Part 3

[pipeinspirit]

its mad to think we just dont take time to think about what we have or where it came from i love glasgow & would be lost without the place i call home ahh the banter

[lec0roh]

I love the old blue Leyland Leopard at 8:18!

[pamorj]

I love it!!

[casusbelli15]

Fantastic to see the poeple's pride in their city.

[rushbury]

Yes, i have to agree, the music is class.

[AppleOfGlasgow]

The music at 0:55 is epic, I'd love to find it. Somehow I don't think I'll ever source a piece of library music for an 80's promotional video of Glasgow underground though haha.

[davidfowler2000]

The majority of the music from each of the 3 parts of this video come from the album 'Energism' by Francis Monkman. It was a library album sold to broadcasting companies for "off the shelf theme tunes". I'm struggling to obtain a copy to see if the track you mention is on there but you're right....it's proper good

[AppleOfGlasgow]

Oh my God! Thanks.

I will join you in trying to find this piece of music. How did you find that one out?

[AppleOfGlasgow]

I have found a site with previews of energism, none of the songs sound like that particular piece although you are correct pretty much every other song from that album is on this.

I would assume they would stick with the same library provider, being Bruton, and since it was made in 1980 then that helps.

I posted a link on your profile of a blog that has pretty much all of the early Bruton catalogue up, only problem is it's all rapidshare downloads. Dynamism does not contain the song either.

I LOVED IT!!! 5/5 stars.

[Bigfinlach]

I say keep on modernizing. Don't stop there, keep on doing more.

[Zandamor]

Absolutely fascinating stuff. And so many parallels with the trams in Edinburgh right now too. More the same than ever...

[jonathanbain14]

except ours actually got finished lol

[AppleOfGlasgow]

Too right, and I wish we got the trams back, I think that would be a great boost to the city, people would just be buzzing about it cus I think we all love the trams and know about them. Would cost the earth right enough.

[QfromAirdrie]

It's well seen that they never took the Queen to Govan or some of the rougher Subway stations.

Thanks for adding this!

[lainey500]

i remember my mother taking me to the museum of transport every other day in my childhood spent there and the city bakeries too yum yum and the model dockyard great memories....

[freacls]

i use the subway every weekend with my pals to go shopping and that i never knew how much planning went into building it

[jonathanbain14]

they never just built it lol, they just updated it, imagine building something like that in victorian times

[rfitzhen]

fascinating!

[Jamandell]

Thats fascinating! I love the Glasgow Subway :D

[KevinAtSeven]

An uncovered escalator? How does it not get wet??

[AppleOfGlasgow]

Hence why both Buchanan Street and St Enochs got roofs, and by the looks of St Enochs roof it wasnt that later (looks very 80's). There is several escalators down at the beach in Gran Canaria where I went that was uncovered and it hasn't worked for years.

[tragic8ball]

I kie that the Queen did the ride al the way from Buchanan St to St Enoch's...the lazy cow, ya can see St Enochs from Buchanan St.

Great Video and not a hard hat in sight.

[madplanefan]

'The next one is only minutes away'. How about 'The next one is a minute away' Great video combo this!

[freddiequeen]

The guy speaking at 7:35 could be talking as if it is today,What a difference 30 years makes..lol

[karmickitty69]

down in the depths of the earth an orange revolution!

LOVE IT!

[markimark03]

fascinating!

[raidar]

What a great time capsule, Well done for posting shame a single fare is still not 20p.

[pow1983]

We'll never see that again. Now id like to see a video on modernising London if only they could.
