Clyde carriage going live
A Subway carriage carrying Radio Clyde branding has been unveiled on the network.
The launch was the latest stage in a series of initiatives involving Clyde and SPT.
The partnership between the two leading West of Scotland brands began in September 2007 when SPT sponsored Radio Clyde’s Jambuster lines.
The Clyde 1 and Clyde 2 branded carriage will be integrated into the Subway system on Monday, 25 February and will run throughout Glasgow’s Subway for the next two years.
Clyde 1 DJ Suzie McGuire and her Clyde 2 colleague Gary Marshall unveiled the newly refurbished trailer car with SPT Chair Alistair Watson and Director of Subway Operations David Wallace.
Radio Clyde Station Director, Tracey McNellan, said: "The Radio Clyde carriage is a bright and colourful addition to the Subway and we hope passengers will like it.
"We’re hoping to have some on air-fun from the carriage in the coming weeks.”
Mr Wallace, said: "The new Radio Clyde carriage looks brilliant and it will certainly catch the attention of all our passengers.
"Jambusters is excellent and I hope that everyone who hears the reports of traffic congestion every day will think about using the Subway.
"It provides a 12-minute journey across the city and there are Park and Ride facilities at Shields Road, Bridge Street and Kelvinbridge Subway Stations.
"We’re absolutely delighted with our continued collaboration with Clyde."
