Confessions on the Subway

But we want to hear from you too! Inspired by Graham Norton’s legendary Red Chair, our 'Confessions on the Subway' story-gathering will invite visitors to share their own memories and experiences of travelling on the Subway... Whether it's funny, romantic, embarrassing, unusual or unforgettable, we want to hear it!

Taking part is completely optional. Whether you have a story to tell or simply want to step aboard and experience a piece of Glasgow’s history, come and take a seat on Car 105 at The Hive in Finnieston.

Car 105 is a unique place that connects generations of Glaswegians and visitors through shared memories of travelling across the city. Our “Confessions on the Subway” story-gathering will invite people to recall the journeys, encounters, nights out, first dates, celebrations and everyday moments that happened on Glasgow’s Subway, creating a living oral history of a place that has helped connect the city for generations.
