Look no hands
AS THE gleaming new Subway train pulls quietly into Buchanan Street station, passengers on the platform are shocked to see no driver in the cab.
A few passengers standing near the cab peer through its window - but all they can see is an on-board computer.
It is busy "talking" to the main computer in the Subway's central control room, relaying information on the train's progress through the system - it's running bang on time.
This futuristic vision could become a reality for Glasgow's troubled Subway, the third oldest underground system in the world.
THE city's troubled Subway network could be totally overhauled, with automated trains costing millions of pounds

McShad wrote:That would be the Morgan Spiced coaches. There was 3 of them originally, re-upholstered for the sake of a couple of weeks advert. I think the outsides out the train we're covered in black too. And the entrance to the tunnels in each station had slogans such as 'Theres a presence coming'
