Within Kelvin Street Image in the Museum of Transport. The red coach on the left was of the type that was used until 1977 when the system was closed for modernisation. The Glasgow system (which is the third oldest in the world) is quite claustrophobic compared with most others.

A great museum for anyone interested in the history of transport. Located in the Kelvin Hall. Entry is free, in common with all Glasgow Council museums.

A life-size mock-up of the new Scotrail "Class 380" trains due to enter service on the Glasgow Central to Ayrshire and Inverclyde lines in September 2010. This mock-up was on display in Glasgow Central station for a few days before being moved to the museum Image Sharp-eyed fans of the BBC TV series "Balamory" might recognise the mini-bus in the background.

The Kelvin Hall has been home to a wide variety of Glasgow's events, from circus to carnival, exhibitions, music performances, sporting events etc. The building was converted to accommodate the Museum of Transport and the Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena in 1987. Now the Transport Museum is moving and the future of the Kelvin Hall is in doubt. It is seen here from the Argyll Street entrance to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

The site of the former Museum of Transport, the Kelvin Hall is being rebuilt in a partnership between Glasgow Life, Glasgow City Council, the University of Glasgow and the National Library of Scotland. When complete in 2016, the new development will feature sports facilities, plus state of the art storage facilities for teaching and research. The River Kelvin is in the foreground.

Trix, a female Tyrannosaurus rex has gone on display in the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow. This is the first exhibition in a new custom-built environmentally controlled cube within the building. Trix was found in Montana, USA in 2013, and was excavated and conserved by Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, Netherlands. The skeleton is the only original fossil skeleton of a T.rex currently touring anywhere in the world. This is the final stage of a European tour, and Trix will be on display until 31 July 2019.
