It's going to be a good trip. Well be starting in the year 1896 and the destination will be 2021. One hundred and twenty-five years in 35 minutes. Not bad. Itll be quite shoogly though so hold on and make sure you keep your ticket safe. You may also notice that we end up back where we started but worry not: this story may go round in a circle but its also the story of a city and its people and a social revolution that is still going on today.

Original entrance to St. Enoch station, Glasgow Subway, on 18th May 2016. A distinctive Victorian red sandstone building in Flemish Renaissance style, dating from the 1896 opening. Preserved during the modernisation of the Subway in the period 1977-1980, it became a Travel Centre when a new entrance to the station was opened. It became disused when the Travel Centre was moved to the Subway ticket hall in 2008 but was converted into a cafe in 2009. It is now a Category A Listed Building. The ghastly shopping centre on the left, with no redeeming architectural features whatsoever, insultingly stands on the site of the former 12 platform GSWR St. Enoch terminus, opened in 1876 and closed in 1966.

The impressive entrance to St Enoch subway seen on a grey January dawn. I hadn't noticed the owl at the time. It's either a remarkable sighting for this urban location or a plastic one to scare smaller birds off the glass roof. I think I know which is more likely.
