Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) decorated its Subway trains to mark Glasgow’s successful bid to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Following the announcement from Sri Lanka at lunchtime, work got underway to add the slogan ‘It’s gold for Glasgow’ on five Subway trailer cars. The first decorated cars were back in operation within an hour of the announcement.
News of the result was also announced via the Subway’s PA system and customer information screens so passengers could help celebrate Glasgow’s success.
SPT’s Director of Subway Operations, David Wallace, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled at today’s decision and we wanted to show that on our Subway trains. The Subway is a vital part of Glasgow’s transport infrastructure and we look forward to playing our part in making the Games a great success.”
