During the week the train almost stopped between Kelvinbridge and Hillhead and there has been a slow spot between Shields Road and Kinning Park for a good while now. And just this evening, a new go very very slow spot between West street and Shields Road... slow enough to see chalk markings on the wall with indications where to start (possible track repair/renewal)
From an educated guess, the trains jerk so much because the electric engines are either one or off and can't adapt to travel at a slow continued speed... they have a designed speed to travel at.
Oh, and the train I got from Ibrox this morning almost did'nt make the station.... the last door was open to the tunnel ::):
P.S. When are the new signs coming into affect? I saw the outer circle sign working one sunday afternoon but they've reverted back to the 'sign under test'

Extra trains to cater for the christmas shoppers? The town traffic was still total bedlam between 7 and 8 this evening

Is it the case that the two are connected, i.e. if there is a small gap between the trains and a high volume of shoppers, then a slightly longer loading time for the train in front means a go-slow for the one behind and so on?
