A POPULAR photographer has captured stunning images of the new Glasgow Subway trains, as the old fleet has officially retired from service.
Luke Agbaimoni, founder of the Tube Mapper Project, said it was a “pleasure” to visit the Subway, and that he had wanted to explore other countries since he first started the project in London.
“It started when my first child was going to be born and I was afraid that I'd have no time for creative photography – so I started to document my journey to work and home,” Agbaimoni said.
“It was a pleasure visiting the Glasgow Subway, the third oldest underground railway in the world.
“It's small but very well formed and much busier than I thought it would be.
“The tube etiquette is different from London as the platforms are more narrow, people hold back where possible or walk to the ends of platforms.
“It has a different atmosphere to London, and because of its simplicity it’s very efficient and mostly everyone knows where they are going.”
He added: “The new trains look very futuristic; I enjoyed watching them illuminate dark tunnels.
“Overall, it was a fantastic experience.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
