Big changes are coming in 2026 for Glasgow’s subway as driverless trains will commence.
The subway which carries around 13 million people each year recently welcomes renovated stations and a fleet of new trains, bringing the underground into the 21st Century.
SPT’s director of transport operations, Richard Robinson, confirmed that the subway modernisation project is now in its final stages, subject to everything being brought together.
He said: ‘Whilst our new system will be capable of Unattended Train Operation, there may be a requirement for some staff presence within the system beyond this point. This is being actively considered as part of our Target Operating Model planning.
The launch date for the autonomous trains is still under wraps but expected to be after Summer 2026.
