1896 Opening of the Glasgow Subway

The Glasgow Subway is an underground metro line in GlasgowScotland. It is the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. It is the only heavy rail underground metro system in the British Isles outside London, and also the only one outside London which operates completely underground. The line was originally known as the Glasgow District Subway. Formerly a cable railway, the Subway was later electrified, but its twin circular lines were never expanded.
