The first images of the new trains to be introduced on the Glasgow subway have been revealed as part of a £200m deal to overhaul the system. Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has awarded the contract to a Swiss/Italian consortium.

The trains, which can run driverless, are due to be operational by 2020.
