      I will admit, yes and no, yes I enjoyed being there but was running on something as my plan wasn't meant to be at Preston. I was travelling from Rugeley to London Euston and then get the Caledonian Sleeper from London to Edinburgh but a fatality happened south of Watford Junction and my train was stuck at Tamworth. Had to go to Birmingham for onward connections but they told me to get to Crewe and then onto Preston to meet the Caledonian Sleeper there, hence why I had that mini overnighter at Preston.

    Great video. I went to Glasgow from Ireland on the 1st and 2nd of June to see if I could get my first and last ride on one of the nice 2nd generation stock trains. I went to Cowcaddens station and waited for a good 20 minutes. All the trains were the new stock and I was getting really disheartened that I missed out on the last of the 2nd gen stock. Luckily one came and it was a delight to see it and ride in it. I did the full circle in it. I think that was the only set in use that day but I’m not sure. This was about 9am in the morning (I just arrived into Glasgow from Dublin). I have to agree, the 2nd gen stock feels much better built and the ride quality was excellent compared to the new stock. The seating is definitely not as comfortable as the old stock. In Dublin, a similar thing is happening with the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) system in the next year or so. They are replacing the 1st generation of DART trains from 1983/84 and I even the newer 2nd generation stock from the early 2000s. They are supposedly getting replaced by overhead wired and battery powered trains (combined) to save on the expense of putting wires overhead from Malahide to Drogheda. The 84 stock is still almost original with its seating and exterior. A few modifications were made to them in the mid 2000s by Siemens of Germany to include screen displays and more handles to hold onto for standing passengers.

    Thank you for sharing your day in Glasgow Simon, I have enjoyed watching. Me and my sister were in Glasgow for a couple of days early last week. We went to the Riverside museum & loved it, we were there for about 3 hours. On the Monday evening, we did the entire Glasgow underground - first the outer circle then the inner circle. On the inner circle, we were lucky enough to travel on one of the old units (No. 203). We knew that the second generation units were on borrowed time, but we didn't realise that they would be withdrawn later in the week, so we are glad we rode one of them when we did. The new units are nice but yes, we noted that they gave quite a rough ride - a bit like the big dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach lol.

They won't be new services but a extension of the Crewe to London Euston service. instead of terminating at Crewe would carry on to Warrington Bank Quay and then onto Manchester Victoria via Earlstown. (I would get a direct service from Rugeley to Manchester without changing at Stafford or Crewe, if they do go ahead) The Manchester Airport one is going to be a extension of the Stafford to Crewe shuttle via Stoke-on-Trent. Not sure on the rolling stock planned for that one.
