Glasgow Underground

 

Travel to the Clyde River’s south end from the City Center through the venues on West End is very convenient with the Glasgow Underground.

First opened in 1896, the original train system was modernized almost a whole century later in the 1980s. The Underground’s two tunnels offer a circular service which links 15 stations, all within a span of 24 minutes. Trains do the rounds every four minutes during peak hours, every six minutes in the day, and every eight minutes in the evenings from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, the trains come along every eight minutes.

Since car parks are available at West Street, Kelvinbridge, Shields Road, and Bridge Street stations, “park and ride” is available. The car park ticket price includes parking as well as journey back on the Underground. Closed circuit surveillance on TV is an added security precaution provided in all the car parks.

The Heritage Trail is a special feature of the city wherein people touring the city can purchase a ticket which includes a day's unlimited travel after 9 in the morning from Monday to Friday, all day on Saturdays and Sundays, and any time during Public Holidays via the Underground with an additional special guided tour to 17 walks to historic and interesting buildings that can be easily accessed from the Underground stations.
