		Because of Glasgow's geology, the subway had to be cut with great difficulty through solid rock; this accounts for both the small size of the tunnels and the failure to expand the system.
		The subway is not the oldest underground railway in Glasgow itself, however; that distinction belongs to a 3-mile stretch of the North Clyde line of the suburban railway network which runs in a sub-surface tunnel under the city centre between High Street and Charing Cross.
		The underground has passenger links to the main rail system at two locations - at Partick, the system connects with the North Clyde line and Argyle lines of the Glasgow suburban railway network and a moving walkway exists between Buchanan Street station and Queen Street main line station.
