I agree with you Dex - as a born & bred Glaswegian,who can remember his last trips on the old pre-modernisation system, to me it will always be The Subway, I point blank refuse to call it The Underground or Clockwork Orange and god help anyone who has the audacity to even mention the words "The Tube" in my vicinity!

Lucky Poet wrote:Ah, true that. It'd be churlish of me to say they were avoiding extremely large buildings then (even though I just sort of have). It'd also be nonsense as the line is clearly shown diving straight under the undoubtedly very large tenements by Kelvinbridge. The route was chosen with an eye to minimise tunnelling under large buildings then?
The more I look at the precise route, the more impressed I am with it; it's very clever, actually, and quite a feat of surveying apart from anything else.
