If a day comes where I don’t cry for your loss I hope it’s because we are playing with the ball again.

Bit annoying for folk having to wait at top of stairs for disembarking passengers before being able to make their way down to the platform, granted, this is only a problem during busier hours where the frequency of trains is quite good.

Does just make me think […]

Crowds of disembarking passengers making their way up Buchanan’s Street Subway Station after getting off train. Despite a handrail separating the stairs in half, the crowds don’t allow to stick to just one side to allow those in opposite direction to pass. the station itself is well lit with the stairs being “full”.

Rest in Peace baby.

Ships, Sun-Stones, Subway and Stained Glass. #glasgow #scotland
A vibrant scene at a waterfront, featuring a modern building with a distinctive angular design, a tall ship docked with colorful flags, and people walking along the promenade. The sky is clear with a few clouds, reflecting a sunny day. The image features the Govan Stone, a historical carved stone on display. It exhibits intricate designs, including circular motifs and patterns. The stone is mounted for protection, and there's an informational panel beside it that explains its artistic significance and historical context. An empty subway platform features smooth, curved walls with illuminated signage for "Bridge Street." The tracks are visible, leading into a dark tunnel. Posters are displayed above on the walls, adding a modern touch to the clean, minimalist design of the station. The image features a stained glass window depicting a crucifixion scene at the center, with Christ on the cross. Flanking figures include a saint-like figure on the left holding a staff and another on the right, less regal but still with a staff.

I don’t think I’ve ever had better beef than what a had in that Yummy Roast near Partick station. I’ve literally been thinking about it for weeks 🥲 #glasgow

They’re envisioning up to a 11 stations to be built as part of the first phase. With future expansions via a second phase allowing it to link to Newhaven.

@DanielRThomas I too really enjoy the transition from pavement to stepping out onto a 4-lane 1-way road. It keeps you on your toes!

Option 4 is basically just the first option but consists only of LRT and no conversion to metro / heavy rail. It would see tram-trains using some tracks around the city but largely preserves the surrounding railways.

Option 3 would see a larger emphasis on heavy-metro conversion and new metro tracks all together (see the light orange lines) than the previous options whilst still including some LRT.

Option 2 is still extensive but less so than the previous one. It would see no rail conversion into heavy rail/metro & instead focus on a single light-rapid transit network consisting of BRT or Trams.

The white circles are meant to indicate potential future LRT interchange spots.

Some flowers out for #palestine & an eerie #ibrox #subway station. #glasgow #scotland
A set of steps adorned with various flowers in memory of someone, alongside a handwritten sign expressing a poignant message about confession and regret. An empty subway station platform with metal tracks and glass safety barriers. The walls display various advertisements, and there is a person standing in the distance. The lighting is bright, and the dark tunnel can be seen through which the trains traverse.

One issue with Glasgow’s subway being a loop is that it’s pretty hard to extend, however, Bridge Street’s large foot-print (P&R) and surrounding vacant land makes it prime for expansion!

I’d propose an interchange here with a new subway line continuing […]

Satellite view of Bridge St Subway station in Glasgow. The immediate area is vacant and derelict but many new town blocks can be seen surrounding the area. A large railway line is seen on the left feeding into Glasgow Central (this area was also served by a railway station previously known as Bridge St).

If any queen had to take over from RuPaul to host UK’s Drag Race then it would’ve been The Vivienne 100%. Devastated the world has lost such an icon.

Tyra searching up a nearly 5 year old Tweet from her to joke about crematorium fumes was fucking vile.

Twitter conversation between Tyra & Vivienne in which Tyra responds to a tweet reading “Bet Tyra was fuming when she realised Netflix spoiled the win too. sorry gal. you tried though” with “Yet it doesn’t compare to the fines of the crematorium.”
