> Not as bad as the Glasgow one, which feels like travelling on a 2/3 scale model of a subway with alarmingly narrow platforms.

For anyone who's not aware, the Glasgow Subway is literally smaller - the track gauge is 4ft (85% of standard gauge), and the rolling stock (trains) is similarly scaled down, to the point that you probably have to duck if you're over 6ft.

Budapest subway is something similar, too.

  • The oldest line which was inaugurated in the late 19th century, yes. (Though IIRC it is standard gauge.)

    The three modern lines are spacious and high-capacity.
