After David Mundell’s attempts to re-brand Scotland out of the Scottish Office, we speculated about what a further de-Scottishification process might look like – “Welcome to the Beautiful Beautiful Banks of Lake Lomond” – “Go in search of the Lake Ness Monster” – “read about the Massacre of the Valley of Coe” etc.

Thankfully Andy Arthur has produced this handy guide. A Monoglot’s Railway Map of Glasgow and West Scotland with no Gaelic, Celtic or other Foreign Mumbo Jumbo …

💛 I'm proud to be the SNP candidate for Glasgow Central. It's been an honour to campaign across this new constituency, and have so many conversations on the doors.

the first g2 stock trains were built in 1977, they entered service in 1980 and became a fundamental part of the city over the next 44 and a bit years. grew up going on those trains, comfy, loud, aging, characterfull, ionic.

but in december 2023 the first g3 stock entered service, and the old g2s started really showing their age and breaking down what felt like every few days.

then today was the very last day of service for the trains which defined the city, at least to me, but with virtually no fanfare

the city won't be the same again and the g2 stock will be missed

128 'Tony Curran' is at riverside, but and least most of the rest are getting scrapped
