    At peak times avoid long waiting times for your taxi - pre-arrange a transfer with a local taxi company prior to your arrival. Some may only pick up from just outside the terminal.

    Look them up on Google or call directory.

    The Metro

    Posted by daedelus 23 July 2006

    Getting around the city is easy, especially on the 'Clockwork Orange', Glasgow’s very own Metro. It literally goes round in a circle! The route is one complete circle with two lines of tracks in two separate tunnels - one going clockwise and the other anti-clockwise. It covers a distance of 6.5 miles on four feet gauge track around the city - a complete circuit takes just 25 minutes.

    In 1979 it was modernised and the new trains were given an orange livery. The local Glaswegians immediately dubbed it the "Clockwork Orange". Since then, the trains have been repainted a different colour, but the name has stuck.
