The Glasgow Underground

[Dazzababes]

I was lucky enough to have a look behind the scenes of the Glasgow underground on Sunday, which included the Depot, Workshops and... walking through the tunnels. Highlight was seeing the remains of Glasgow's only lost station - Merkland St.
Not strictly UE, but i thought some of you may be interested nonetheless.

This part of the tunnel sustained bomb damage during WW2, hence the change from steel to brick

This is the remains of Merkland St station which was closed during the refurbishment in the 70s. It would have had a central platform and natural lighting from skylights above.
