Old Photograph Underground Station Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of an underground subway station in Glasgow, Scotland. The Glasgow Subway is an underground metro line. Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. It is the only heavy rail underground metro system in the British Isles outside London, England, and also the only one outside London which operates completely underground. The line was originally known as the Glasgow District Subway, but was later renamed Glasgow Subway Railway. It was so called when taken over by the Glasgow Corporation who renamed it the Glasgow Underground in 1936. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians continued to refer to the network as " the Subway ". In 2003 the name " Subway " was officially readopted by its operator, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
