SPT Subway, a photo from Glasgow, Scotland

Photographer's Note

SPT subway station in Glasgow on Sunday morning.
Try to guess which one...

Some info about the subway:
Originally built for the Glasgow District Subway Company, the railway first opened in 1896 as a cable-hauled system. Propulsion was provided by stationary steam engines and the railway was hailed as the first of its type in the world. The Subway is generally recognised as the world's third underground railway, after London and Budapest. In 1923 the Subway passed into the hands of Glasgow Corporation Transport Department, and in the following decade the railway was converted to electric traction, introducing a third 'live' rail for the purpose.

Hi Matt.
I like this photo,I usually don't like movement photos,but I like this one,perhaps because the end of the train is seen and a piece of the clear wall too.But besides this I also think the composition is good,and the B$W looks great,life in the morning sometimes is in B&W ;)
Saludos

cześć Matuesz, z Twoich prac wyłowiłem taką z andergraundu -- lubię takie czarno-białe klimaty z częściowym blurem, z dobrą ostrością ludzi. właściwie nic poważnego, takie normalne życie, ale zawsze lubiłem takie sceny. kiedyś w Wawie spędziłem pół godziny na dobrym złapaniu pociągu: http://www.trekearth.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=376690
