A PIECE of transport history has been given a new lease of life as a creative space with a twist.
A vintage Glasgow Subway carriage has been transformed into 'Subway Studios', a fully equipped podcast, broadcast and events studio located in the city's West End.
Operated by Whistledown Scotland, an award-winning audio production company, the studio pairs professional-grade recording facilities with one of Glasgow's most iconic fixtures.
The refurbished carriage now serves as a unique backdrop for podcasts, video content, interviews and branded productions.
David Prest, managing director at Whistledown Scotland, said: "We wanted to create more than just another studio space.
"We wanted to create a place that people would remember.
"Transforming one of its iconic subway carriages into a working broadcast studio felt like the perfect way to celebrate Glasgow's creativity and character."
Commonly referred to as the 'Clockwork Orange', Glasgow's Subway is the third-oldest underground railway in the world and a long-standing symbol of the city.
The studio is located in Finnieston, just minutes from major entertainment and sporting venues including the SEC, OVO Hydro, Scotstoun Stadium and the Emirates Arena.
The studio has already been used to record BBC Radio 4's The Reunion presented by Kirsty Wark.
Whistledown Scotland is one of the UK's leading independent audio production companies, producing content for clients such as The Telegraph, Politico, Audible, BBC Radio 4 and The Natural History Museum.
The company has been recognised with the BBC Indie Development Fund 2026 for its innovative approach to audio storytelling.
Subway Studios is now open for bookings from broadcasters, agencies, production companies and creators seeking a memorable recording environment.
To mark the launch, Whistledown Scotland is offering special introductory hire rates throughout July, August and September.
Subway Studios is expected to become a popular destination for broadcasters, production companies and creators working in Glasgow.
