CENTRAL GLASGOW PART 1

Being a major city, there's a lot to show you in Glasgow, so I'll split things into two. Here's part 1.

Let's start around Glasgow Central railway station, with a view of the Clyde and the bridges crossing it to that location.

And here's the main railway bridge leading into Central station, in Caledonian Railway times.

A Caledonian Railway 4-4-0 departs.

A couple of local trains at Glasgow Central in 1971.

Now it's 1978 and an EMU awaits departure, as does a local DMU.

By 1993, the orange PTE livery had arrived.

Now we're into the 21st Century.

 We must not forget that there are also two low level platforms at Glasgow Central.

Jamaica Street is nearby and Glasgow's trams could be found there.

There's a Wetherspoons nearby, the Sir John Moore.

About to pass by is Strathclyde PTE Metrobus MB17, having just passed under Central station.

Only a few steps away was Buchanan Street.

And close to that was St Enoch Square and station.

The old Subway station building was retained as a tourist centre.

Outside, in 1981, a PTE tourist bus awaits custom.

Time for some beer now. First stop, the Toby Jug, though Whatpub reports no real ale now.

Fortunately, the Drum & Monkey is nearby and that's where this post ends.

In the next post, more buses, more pubs and Queen Street station.
