Glasgow Subway EMU for Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), United Kingdom
The Glasgow Subway is the third-oldest metro system in the world and
commenced operations as early as 1896. Stadler provides a new vehicle fleet of 17
state-of-the-art metro vehicles, as part of the replacement of the entire system.
The tunnel systems date from the Victorian era and demand a compact vehicle
design. However, Stadler is also able to meet the latest needs of passengers, with
the new vehicles featuring an open and completely uninterrupted interior.
Wheelchair spaces are available. Thanks to newly developed bogies featuring air
suspension, the new metro vehicles provide a high level of ride comfort. They are
fully automated and driverless. The introduction of the new vehicles does not
affect the operation of the metro. Auxiliary driver’s cabs are fitted for the
transitional phase. The power supply is drawn from a third rail at 600 V DC.
With the new vehicles from Stadler, Glasgow has one of the most cutting-edge
metro systems.
