9 April Another Trip to Glasgow

Croy Station

Catherine and me.




 Glasgow Underground
or The Subway
or The Clockwork Orange
Glaswegians like to call it "The Subway"
  
 
The Subway is an underground metro line in Glasgow.
It is the easiest way to get around the City Centre and the West End of Glasgow.
It was opened on 14 December 1896.
It is the 3rd oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro.
 



Had lunch at Ubiquitous Chip in Ashton Lane
as recommended by my cousin Pat.
Ashton Lane is a cobbled backstreet in the West End of Glasgow.
Its near the Hillhead subway station.
 




Coffee Shop - Aristan Roast in Gibson Street near the Kelvin River.
One of Joe's favourite coffee shops.
