Govan [Subway]

As a circular network the Glasgow Subway needs somewhere for recovery time, otherwise things can get in a mess due to the knock-on effect of just one delayed train.  The station used is Govan.  The driver of this unit on 4 January has taken advantage of the few minutes' stop to nip out. The livery is a combination of the once ubiquitous Strathclyde Red (orange to you and me) and SPT maroon and cream.  Although surface trains are gradually being painted out of SPT livery the colours still belong to SPT and I can't see the Subway livery changing anytime soon. It's certainly unthinkable that the trains shouldn't sport at least some orange!
