The Hidden Glasgow Forums

it is strange how far they built the town centre from the train station and also how they never built a station in Abronhill, but one 30 seconds away in Greenfaulds. A station was proposed for Abronhill within the last 3 years - it may yet happen if the wires are extended beyond Cumbernauld to Stir...

I thought the first episode was poor, but it got better as it went on, and became really quite good, hopefully will get a second series. I watched...

What's the chances of two HG'rs & second cousins being on the same bus at the same time? Nice to see you again Gaucho
