When the Glasgow subway extended Sunday hours start and end

All thanks to COP26, the Glasgow subway Sunday services were finally pushed back.

However, the extra hours will only last for two Sundays.

The subway will open at 8am and close at 10pm on October 31 and November 7. The last trains will leave the city centre from 9:50pm.

The usual end time was 6pm on Sundays - the earliest closing time during the regular schedule.

SPT said the extended hours were "to assist those travelling in the city during COP26" meaning they will only run on the two Sundays during the UN conference.

COP26 will run from October 31 to November 12.

The extended hours are so popular that there are 2,603 signatures in a Change.org petition to make them permanent. The petition cited traffic and women's safety as important reasons to keep the schedule.

The petition reads: "The people of Glasgow have been demanding this for years, why does this extension have to end?"

"The SPT clearly have the resource to extend the subway hours on a Sunday. It is about time they modernised and maintained these hours after the COP26 VIPs leave.

"The people of Glasgow are just as important as these delegates and should be prioritised for public safety. Safe travel should be crucial to a city the size of Glasgow."
