The Glasgow District Subway was second only to London in the UK and
was the third underground system to be built anywhere in the world.
Originally operated as a cable railway, it was later electrified
and the rolling stock from that era continued to be used until it
had become very dilapidated by the 1970s. Following a major
modernization programme, it is now operated by the Strathclyde
Partnership for Transport and the distinctive orange livery of the
modern trains has earned it the local nickname of 'the clockwork
orange'. The Underground is laid out as a circular route with the
trains on a continuous loop, clockwise and anti-clockwise on the
twin lines. It serves fifteen stations on both sides of the Clyde
including the ornate St Enoch. Keith Anderson traces the
development of Glasgow's Subway from its construction through its
modification and up to the present day.
