Class video man. Im sure there used to be a way down. Recomend the central station tour if you havent already done it.

Ps police box pub crawl sounds fantastic

Did you go to Kelvinbridge? There's an old coal yard down by the river with tunnels. Great content.

Nice one Roger it's a place steeped with hidden I used to work at a place called Cathcart... it has a beautiful river bank and well known haunted grave yard that has many a story.
Brilliant video once again...Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne 😊

Your enthusiasm for this visit is clear for all to see, thanks for showing the beautiful side of Glasgow 😊

Thanks for a very enjoyable video. In the 70s, the entrance to the tunnel was open, and you could access the old station. Did it a few times way back then -- a very scary experience. It probably took only a couple of minutes to walk to the station, but it seemed like an eternity. And then you had to go back...

Excellent video! I knew you'd do an absolute cracking vlog of this trip! Those new trains look like alien craft as they wizz in and out of the tunnels!

Used to do Acid House parties here back in 90s .Lots of great tunnels even more far out memories !!! They were the daze .

Thanks for this, I have heard of the Botanics Line and seen it mentioned on the rail forum etc but it was interesting to see the remains of the old station. I will try and get a subway card first before I ride on the subway again. I enjoyed my trip to the Burrell collection a few days ago though, the walking route is very well signed from Pollokshaws West station.

One of the most interesting things about Kibble Palace is that it was originally sited in the village of Coulport (now home to the UK's trident missiles), and was actually moved a reassembled in Glasgow. There used to be an active site called Hidden Glasgow (the site's basically dead these days) and some people on there managed to get into the old station. And back in the 90s and 2000s there used to be illegal raves held in the old rail tunnels!

Great to see the new subway trains. Also the visit to the Botanic Gardens. Didn't know about the old hidden station! Yes, can't get lost on the Glasgow Subway. Last on it a couple of years ago, looking forward to taking a trip, next time in Glasgow. Good vlog, Roger. 😊 👍

Use the Glasgow underground 3 - 4 times per week. I live in Govan.

[gordonmcmillan]

It was never the same since they closed Merkland Street. I can remember the old station, and the dark red trains that were replaced by the 'Clockwork Oranges"

[glasgowjohn]

the actual platform where you would wait for the train to get on or off it was behind the wall where that policebox is

[skerryvorefan]

i went on the new train it was so so cool :)

[fabianmckenna]

Walked along it as kids from Kelvingrove with my brother and sister in the sixties.

Couple of torches and followed all the way to Argyle Street opposite the old Grandfare supermarket.

Low level railway nowadays.

[davidroberts]

The trains suit the purpose most of the time with the with the exception of a Rangers home game when Ibrox station get very busy

[GavinScrimgeour]

There are abandoned railway tunnels south of bridge of earn, you can walk through both. You’ll need a powerful torch as in the middle you are submerged in darkness.
