Out with the old . . . in with the blue
The Glasgow Subway is getting a colourful £1.7million facelift - and it could
earn the city a gold in the race to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Out goes the bold orange which has been a feature of the underground for
the last 30 years.
And in comes a new eyecatching scheme of carmine and cream on the inside - and
bright blue on the outside.
The colour change for the Subway carriages signals an end to the famous nickname
for the city's underground system, the Clockwork Orange.
The first of the new-look fleet, which bosses say will provide extra comfort
for passengers, were unveiled yesterday as they took to the tracks...
------------------------------------------------------------
Aye, I wiz never done calling it "The Clockwork Orange..."
