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.

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

The music is so great this is doing my head in I need to find this lmao!

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

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.

Sounds like Pulstar to me.

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!



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

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.
