A campaign has been launched to demand an extension of the Sunday timetable operated by Glasgow Subway.

An online petition states that more services would be a "huge benefit" for residents of the city.

Organisers say longer opening hours on the underground would allow people to spend more time in the city at weekends, and would put Glasgow in the same position as other major UK cities including London.

A statement reads: "This will be of huge benefit as more people are out on Sundays and many other major cities in the UK including London Underground still have the system running till almost midnight on a Sunday.

"Why should people have to rush from their shopping at Buchanan Street or St Enoch to catch the last train at 6pm on a Sunday otherwise having to resort to getting a bus which also has reduced frequency or spending a lot of money on a taxi instead.

"Its time for Glasgow Subway to get ahead of it's time with the current modernisation program and extend the time on Sunday so that people can spend a little more time in the town on Sundays.

Launched yesterday, the petition will be handed over to Strathclyde Passenger Transport, the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland.
