Underground, Glasgow

Entrance to Queen's Street
Underground - mid day

Tiny Trains!

Like most Metros, I'd be uncomfortable travelling alone at night.

This picture shows the entrance at Queens Street, middle of the day. Not used much, which is a pity since the roads are congested and fumes pollute the air.

I think it needs investment, but the Council probably have many other projects too.

	Underground: An easy and cheap way to get about Tip Rating:

on February 8, 2006

The Glasgow underground is more than 100 years old and predates the London underground. There is only one circular route with trains running every 10 to 20 minutes in each direction. This covers central Glasgow so won't help you get around Greater Glasgow, but there is also a very good bus service to all areas of Glasgow and surrounding areas.

You can find your nearest underground stop on the multimap site, where it will be marked with an orange circle, for example see http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=259000&Y=665500&width=500&height=300&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=0&scale=10000&down.x=190&down.y=3 (sorry the link is so long!)

	Underground: Getting to Glasgow - all roads... Tip Rating:

By Ruthy2001

Getting to Glasgow - all roads lead to Glasgow!

From Europe there are lots of discount flights with Go, Ryanair and EasyJet

From England just head North you can go from London on the bus for £25 or the train for £20
To get around Glasgow centre your best bet is by foot..
One of the other tourist attractions in Glasgow, especially for people who have visted London is the tube! Rather than it being a complicated affair, it is two circles stopping at exactly the same stops in different directions!! It is about quarter of the size of the London Underground in terms of carriages and looks rather like a long orange snake!! - It also costs a lot less, only 90pence to anywhere. You have to try it - a great game is the tube pub crawl where you can drink in a pub at everystop - gets a bit dodgy around Ibrox though.

	Underground: Glasgow's sub crawl Tip Rating:

By CliffClaven

Glasgow's toytown subway has one line that loops around 15 stations. One of old Cliffie's dafter achievements was to complete the 'sub crawl', a pub crawl which involves stopping at each station on the loop to have a beer in the nearest pub. Old Cliffie and his mates ended the evening over an Indian curry - quite literally in wee Jimmy's case as he pitched head first into his plate. Like bungee jumping, the 'sub crawl' is one of those accomplishments that it is better to have done than to do.

It's gotta be the clockwork orange. The cutest, smallest, most orange underground trains you'll ever see. And people talk to each other on them!

Glasgow underground is very regular and gets u places fast but it only covers a very small part of Glasgow mainly central parts. Only one complete loop so your less likely to get lost as there are only two lines outer and inner circle. The underground is known as the clockwork orange locally. Just one thing though if using the underground to Buchanan street for a connecting bus service it is important to note that the station does not come out at the bus station it is a 5-10 min walk from station. (up hill behind concert hall). One more thing it is also cheap.

	Underground: Around the city

By oneonta_ni

on April 8, 2003

There are plenty of buses for the main part of the city, although we preferred to walk. Most of the main sites are within the city centre or in the West End.

There is also an underground that is fairly convenient.

Glasgow has a small underground rail system, serving mostly the central areas. Other parts of the city have a good bus and overground rail service.
