July 05, 2024  •  Leave a Comment
28th June was the final day in service for the Glasgow Subway's 2nd Gen stock consisting of 1977 built Metro Cammell motors and 1992 built Hunslet Barclay central trailers.
 
Initially, it was announced that one train per circle would run between 1pm and 4pm, however due to demand it was closer to 5.30pm before they returned to depot, with both sets carrying out an additional couple of runs around the circle each!
 
The final servicable trains were in service, one per circle and were formed of 106+207+120 and 119+203+103.    106+207+120 worked on diagram 16 on the Inner Circle & 119+203+103 worked diagram 6 on the Outer circle. Due to the number of enthusiasts and regular passengers wanting to take photos etc, it was taking longer than normal to do a full circuit with longer than normal dwell times at stations.
 
119+203+103 returned to depot first, terminating at Govan and with 103 leading, returned to Broomloan depot wrong line. Shortly after, 106+207+120 exited service at Govan at 17.24 and after quite a few photos and videos from well wishers, it returned to Broomloan depot, bringing 44 years of service to an end for the 2nd Gen stock.
