The Glasgow Times previously reported in April that Glasgow Subway had said goodbye to the first of its legacy fleet as the service welcomed its new fleet of trains. 

The first of the new trains entered the system in December last year. 

The trains are the same length and size as the legacy fleet but are a four-car set, as opposed to the previous three-car set, with open gangways to make the most of the space available.

Earlier this month, it was revealed by our sister title The National that the new trains have increased journey times on the subway. 

SPT said the reasoning behind why the new trains, which are a part of its £288 million modernisation programme, are running longer than their older counterparts is because of the signalling system. 

They do, however, expect to reduce journey times once the system has been fully updated.
