We\u2019re going through a major transition for our new signalling and communication system.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWhat does this mean to you? Well, it means that, first of all, Sunday, August 30, we\u2019re closed. We need to undertake a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure we\u2019re ready for service on Monday morning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cHowever, on Monday morning you should notice some differences as you come into our services.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;You\u2019ll walk into the station, and the platform information screens will suddenly look slightly different.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThey\u2019ll also be working alongside the new signalling system to bring you that up-to-date information around when trains are arriving and what you can see in terms of any other information we need to provide to you on your journey.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cAs you get ready to board the train, you\u2019ll notice if you\u2019re at Govan, Partick, or Ibrox that our platform screen doors will now be operational, giving full coverage along the whole extent of the platform.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Major route through Glasgow&#8217;s West End shut after crash<br \/>Manhunt underway after teenager &#8216;stabbed&#8217; on Glasgow street<br \/>Popular festival issues urgent update to attendees on final day<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowtimes.co.uk\/local-news\/cumbernauld-news\/?ref=au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cumbernauld<\/a> church pays tribute to man who died at Christian festival<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p>\n    As of Monday, passengers travelling with us will experience the next stage of Subway modernisation \ud83d\ude87<\/p>\n<p>\u2611\ufe0f Fully operational platform screen doors at Govan, Partick &amp; Ibrox.<\/p>\n<p>\u2611\ufe0f On-train announcements &amp; passenger screens<\/p>\n<p>\u2611\ufe0f Platform screens with live train arrivals pic.twitter.com\/lmqPxjRzsH\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    \u2014 GlasgowSubway (@GlasgowSubway) August 28, 2026\n  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n  We previously reported that the closures allowed for further testing of the Platform Screen Doors (PSDs), which have been fully installed at three stations in the city\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowtimes.co.uk\/news\/glasgow-southside\/?ref=au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Southside<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Richard continued: \u201cAs the train comes into the platform, those doors will then flash and open in unison with the doors on the train to allow you to board the unit.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWhen you get on that train, and you\u2019re on the journey, you\u2019ll suddenly start to notice there are onboard announcements.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cHopefully these are really clear and give a nice tone to your journey as you go through our system. The screens will also give you that up-to-date information on where you are on your journey and really help people to navigate our system in the most seamless possible way.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe really hope you enjoy the new capabilities that we\u2019re bringing to you and welcome you to Subway.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A lot of work is said to have gone on behind the scenes to prepare for operations being&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1151779,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":["post-1177678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-glasgow","tag-britain","tag-glasgow","tag-great-britain","tag-scotland","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/117185945388265949","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1177678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1177678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1177678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1151779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1177678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1177678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1177678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
