They look good as a complement to the glasgow subway album book, promising real footage with sound of the old system etc. Or, they could be rubbish, with about a minute of footage. Fairly expensive too for a video these days. Any thoughts?

They used to show a documentary about the subway on a loop in the mock-up of the old subway station. It was excellent, and i imagine it is the same one they now have on video.
Strangely, i was asking about it a few weeks ago but the two women at the reception desk just looked at me blankly totally clueless as to what i was talking about. They never even mentioned that they sold videos. Silly cows.

That's definately what they used to show. I think i may have to make a purchase myself. How much are they?
