The SNP want to bring the underground network under council control and take it away from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). Should the party oust Labour from the leadership of Glasgow City Council on 4 May, they say they have ambitious plans for the 120-year-old underground network. Currently, the Subway serves the centre, West End and south west of the city. The SNP has said it will investigate possible extensions to the east and north. To fund the work the party said it would look at new ways of raising cash rather than relying on capital grants from the Scottish Government.
