Happy 140th birthday to Glasgow Central station

Happy 140th birthday to Glasgow Central railway station. Which was opened by the Caledonian Railway on 1 August 1879.

It had under 33 million passengers in 2017–18, making Glasgow Central the twelfth-busiest railway station in Britain and the busiest in Scotland!

I also had fun on the Glasgow Subway

I also had fun on the Glasgow Subway. One of the best things, travelling with Nick, is you never know, what photos he’s going to take! Love seeing that amazing photos, he’s taken!

Also think he’s starting to get use to, travelling with me! Since, I like to always try and do has many things, that I can in a day! Not spend the whole time he’s pubs! We only went to one, during the whole time in Scotland and that was just to eat!

Nick’s first time on the Glasgow Subway

Look back to last week, when Nick got to use the Glasgow Subway for the very first time!

Still can’t believe, how many people, don’t know Glasgow has a underground. Which happens to be the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro.

Glasgow Central railway station, needs more LNER services!

Glasgow Central railway station is the busiest in Scotland. But it happens to be, the one I use the least! Mainly due to fast, you can’t get many direct train to it from Peterborough any more. Like you could under the GNER days! Which is one, of the main reasons, I started mainly driving to/from Scotland and stopped using the train!

LNER, is doing a way better job than both National Express East Coast and Virgin Trains East Coast, ever did! But, I still would rate GNER has the best railway franchise the UK ever had!
