Riding Glasgow's Final 2nd Generation Subway Train!

On Friday, 28th June 2024, the last of the Glasgow Subway's 2nd Generation Trains was withdrawn from passenger service following 44 years of passenger service, so I made a trip up to Glasgow to have one last ride on the final train!

The last cars from the TransClyde era are going away. What a run.

Great video Michael! Been quite some time since I last travelled on the 'Clockwork Orange' and it's 2nd gen stock, but was really nice to see everyone enjoying them one last time.

Glad that you got to ride them on the final day, great video and they will sadly be missed

[@MikeWillSee]

Thanks Simon! Funnily enough as you commented this I was in the process of watching your video where you rode on the 2nd gen trains!
Anyway you're absolutely right that they're very good trains, well loved by many, and will be sorely missed!

It was nice talking to you at Partick that day! I grew up with these wonderful trains and I'm very sad to see them go. Now the Subway is nowhere near as interesting to me anymore. That's us at 3:56

[@MikeWillSee]

Yeah I'll definitely miss these trains too! It was good to see you there that day!

Managed to travel on my last car no.119 in September 2023.
Love the Glasgow subway so will miss the MetCamms.
Great video btw.

[@MikeWillSee]

Thank you very much, I'll definitely miss these units as well!

Oh wow! Nicely done bud! I'm glad you got to see the final one and ride round the loop for hours! I do hope to go on the subway soon lol although ofc it'll be the new stock I'll be riding!

[@MikeWillSee]

Definitely worth visiting at least once in your life!

[@universaltrainsstudio8534]

@@MikeWillSee Yeah I'm sure I will do that aha! 👍🏻😆

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Flabbergasted Mr Marshall wasn't there!
Good content though.

[@MikeWillSee]

Yeah there were surprisingly few big-name RUclipsrs there(at least that I recognised) - glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SuliPlayz5264]

ah yes, the defunct manufacturer of metrocammell

2:33 It would seem I've had a 'so much time and so little to do' moment

[@colonelWalakiraii]

Did anyone notice at 3:50 it said ‘Break *** for, Emergency ***😮
