The bespoke train has begun its first trial runs on the city's underground rail network.
The first of Glasgow's brand new Subway trains has been seen on the city's system for the first time.
The first bespoke train - built by contractors Stadler and Hitachi - rolled into the system on 5 December.The milestone is part of the system's modernisation programme and marks the start of extensive testing of the new trains that will continue throughout next year.The new Subway train was brought into the underground system for the first time on 5 December
The new trains are not likely to be in general use until 2023, with 17 eventually expected to be running. The second stage was to see if the depot locos - normally used to move equipment around the system for night maintenance and to rescue broken-down trains - could take the train out of the system should they be needed at any point to "rescue" a train.Both exercises were successful, so intensive testing of the new trains in the Subway system can begin next year.
