The second generation rolling stock of the Glasgow Subway, the third-oldest underground metro system in the world, was built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath, the first 33 cars between 1977 and 1979 and eight additional trailer cars in 1992. It entered service when the Subway reopened after modernisation work on 16 April 1980. Unlike other metro systems in the United Kingdom, the Subway has a running gauge of 1,220 mm, approximately 4 ft. Car 122 was withdrawn in October 2015 and stripped of usable equipment to provide spare parts for the remaining fleet, and was scrapped soon after. The third generation of rolling stock entered service on 11 December 2023, ending the second generation period of 1980 to 2024.
