Not sure if this is quite the right place for a post about Glasgow's Subway aka the Clockwork Orange. It's going to get new unmanned trains and a new signalling and control system. |

It might be better to do this and see how it goes before TFL put driverless trains on the tube, as a testbase. The livery looks like Sydney Trains in Australia. |

This is a very brave move by the transport people in Glasgow. The subway has a tiny profile and there are no side walkways in the tunnels. Further the use of Stadler as a supplier of such a complex solution and new trains is not without risk. They have no great experience of building tube type stock and are also new to the UK market. I just hope someone has worked through all the project risks and made sure they are mitigated or properly allocated with funding in case things go wrong. |

I personally wish/hope the new trains end up orange with white doors rather than the other way round. Gosh I'm shallow  |

Today's Railways UK state that these new trains will enter service until 2021 now. This follows "delays and design challenges experienced to date".

This is excellent news. I was postponing a visit to Glasgow to ride electric buses with First and McGills until the new Subway trains are in service. I expect to go next year now, potentially around September. |
