Step aboard Car 105

Come aboard Car 105, an original Glasgow Subway train and step back into the history of one of Glasgow’s most distinctive transport systems.

Whistledown Scotland, the Glasgow-based podcast production company behind Subway Studios, invites you to explore this remarkable piece of Glasgow heritage. Discover Car 105’s original graphic design, take a seat in the driver’s cab and hear fascinating stories from former Subway drivers played throughout the day.

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.
