11 December 2023 was an historic day for the Glasgow Subway, as its new Stadler trains carried passengers for the first time.While this is the most visible milestone in the modernisation of the Subway, led by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), there is more still to come, including introduction of anew signalling system, platform screen doors at stations and plans for unattended train operation (UTO).
