Loving the new rolling stock on the Glasgow Subway

Loving the new rolling stock on the Glasgow Subway.

Hard to believe that since the Glasgow Subway opened back, back in December 1896. It’s only just on it’s third-generation of rolling stock.

They new ones, are so nice! Way, way better than last generation were!

Myself at Partick subway station

Carlisle railway station. Half TICK!

I can now half tick off Lockerbie railway station. I say off tick, since I did it way, way back sometime between 2001 and 2003. When I was travelling between Liverpool Lime Street and Glasgow Central, but had to change trains to due to a strike!

It’s first time, I’ve been back since then! This time, I had time to take photos!

On This Day : 28/09/2014

On This Day back in 2014! I took these extra hot photos of a mate wearing his Spider-Man, on the Banks of Loch Lomond, Scotland.

So wish. I owned a suit like that! I would, never want to take it off!
