Default How much is a train ticket down there?

Incidentally, my impression of Glasgow (as a visitor from the southeast of
England) was VERY impressive. This has to be the most stunning,
architecturally innovative and friendliest city in the UK. The people,
city, buildings, shopping, hotels etc are fantastic. An added bonus has to
be that the city has the largest suburban electric railway network outside
London and the only city in the UK (outside London) to have a proper
underground railway system. I loved Glasgow, the scale and metropolitan
feel of the city and can't wait to go back again. It surely has to be
Britain's best kept secret? Many people in the UK would avoid it (for some
strange reason) but it is beautiful, exciting and overwhelmingly friendly.
I loved it and when I got back to London I thought "What a dump (compared
wth Glasgow)".

Aw, thankyou. I think ours is the only one which is COMPLETELY underground
(except the depot).

And yes, that is the voice I'm on about. There's two voices, that annoying
on-train broad Glasgow voice, and a posher voice that does the Glasgow
suburban station announcements "The train now approaching platform 9 is the
5:32 ScotRail service to Milngavie. Calling at...."
