    The Glasgow Subway saw 12.7 million passengers in 2019. This would be a great and popular route on TSW2. If you have any comments or questions please pop them below. Please watch this video about the route:

    1) This post (i.e. the one I'm replying to asking "any questions") feels like a bump as it was over a day since your previous post
    2) As someone from West Scotland I'd like this however there are issues,
    A) It's a circle, all (minus the depot) is underground
    B) There is hardly anything like a timetable.
    3) I quote from the original post "This would be a great and popular route on TSW2" firstly, again, as much as I would like it there isn't much to offer. And due to that I think it's safe to stick a strikethrough the "popular" part to be honest.
    4) I'd rather see Scotland for what it really is, a natural beauty and a wonderful place.
