跟紐約巴黎甚至莫斯科這幾年規模宏大的更新案比起來 英國捷運的更新速度可說非常緩慢 如今比倫敦更年久失修(不過我個人認為很乾淨)的格拉斯哥地鐵 終於得到更新的機會 重軌捷運改為無人駕駛是不少主要城市系統更新的焦點 台北捷運對此居然還不聞不問 也可看出吾國主事者的心態 我覺得有趣的是格拉斯哥地鐵在規模小投資也相對少下 為什麼更新案能延誤那麼久 就我所知的陰謀論是 格拉斯哥向來是目前蘇格蘭執政的SNP黨的沙漠 所以SNP上台之後 對於格拉斯哥交通的投資非常不積極 這次雖然系統得以升級 談論許久的延伸卻被否決 21.03.2010 Railway Gazette Glasgow Subway upgrade approved Driverless operation, new rolling stock and infrastructure upgrading are set to go ahead on the 1 220 mm gauge Glasgow Subway under a ￡290m renewal programme announced by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport. Scotland’s Finance Secretary John Swinney confirmed on March 9 that following ‘careful consideration’ of the outline business case, ‘the Scottish Government has agreed to provide a substantial capital contribution’, which would provide ‘sufficient assurance for SPT to raise funds from other sources and progress with the Subway modernisation’.SPT’s intention is to replace the existing fleet of 41 small-profile cars supplied in the 1970s and install communications-based train control to permit fully-automatic operation; its business case envisages driverless trains. Stations will be refurbished with improved accessibility and smartcard ticketing. The work is expected to go ahead in ‘the next five years’,although the current rolling programme of station improvements will continue. There are no plans to extend the 10 km circular route which opened in 1896.‘We are delighted to have a firm commitment of support’, said SPT Chairman Jonathan Findlay. ‘We look forward to receiving further details of the financial contribution on offer’. -- Meine Damen und Herren, auf Gleis 1 faehrt ein U1 nach Peitou, ueber Taipeh-Chientan, Shihpai.
