Few More

I love the layout of these seats, all along one side with the walkway on the other.

Class 303 ("Blue Train") at Springburn, 1970's - note the curved windscreens.
These were normal glass and a driver was killed when some neds threw bricks
off a bridge at a 303 unit. At that time safety glass couldn't be made to curve
around to fit such a shape, so the curved sections of the windscreens were removed
and flat safety glass fitted to the units' windscreens. See the bottom two pics, below.


Original interiors


Class 303's in "Strathclyde Red" at Glasgow Central


Preserved Blue Train in original Caledonian Blue at Glasgow Central

A couple more from the museum.
This must have been a welcome sight on a cold night. Travel in style.


Who said the trams frightened the horses
