A SONG from more than 40 years ago is doing the rounds again, thanks to Glasgow’s famous Subway.
On the Underground, written by the late Scottish composer Harry Barry, celebrated the launch of the city’s ultra-modern Clockwork Orange in 1980.The SPT is bidding farewell to its old Subway fleet as part of an ongoing £288m refurbishment.
Meanwhile, Glasgow writers Steven Blockley and David J Thacker have written a book of short stories, Tunnel Visions, inspired by Glasgow’s Subway. David adds: “I’m a fairly new import to the city, and Steven has lived here all his life, so we knew we could provide an interesting point of view – looking at the city and its people through different eyes.”“It seemed a perfect fit,” Steven says. “The Subway binds very different parts of the city, so that gave us a huge cast of characters to choose from.”
Glasgow's Subway opened in 1896, the third-oldest underground railway system in the world, largely covering the West End and city centre with eight stations to the north of the River Clyde and seven stations to the south.
