What happened to the subway's old carriages?
Glasgow's old fleet of subway trains were pulled in June 2024 after transporting passengers across the city for 44 years.
The 1980 Metro-Cammell trains were famous for their orange exterior and retro interior becoming an iconic part of Glasgow heritage.
Some carriages were bought by enthusiasts, like train legend Francis Bourgeois. Though he did reveal the cushions on the carriage had a 'mature urine smell'.
If you'd like to see one yourself, we previously reported one of the trains will be preserved in the Riverside Transport Museum in the city.
