”Glasgow is the only one that was never extended. We need a subway extension”.
It was extended though.
We just decided not to link it to the existing Subway, because then we’d be stuck with the same tiny trains and short platforms.
Instead, we decided to use regular-sized trains on regular-sized rails, with longer platforms. We call it “the Glasgow suburban rail network” and it’s the biggest in Britain, apart from London.
It made way more sense to spend money on that rather than expanding the weird white-elephant subway.
