This book does what it says on the tin: it talks about the history of the subway system that Glaswegians refer to as "the Clockwork Orange" and the features that make it unique, such as its method of propulsion and the fact that it has become pretty much restricted to the single circular route. The author's enthusiasm for the subject is undeniable, especially given that some of the subway station photos from the 1980s were taken from his collection. However, the editor's enthusiasm may not show more have been quite so high; about halfway through, spelling errors creep in and more run-on sentences appear.

Despite the shortness of this book, the focus and details make it better suited to more keen transport enthusiasts than casual readers. show less
