An SPT spokesperson said: “Following feedback from some passengers, SPT paid for the retrofitting of dampers to be added to the new train fleet to improve the ride quality of the trains in the system.
A transport operator in Scotland spent almost £120,000 retrofitting new subway trains after passengers complained that the service was too wobbly.
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), operator of the Glasgow Subway, splashed out to stabilise the fleet by fitting over 100 dampers to carriages.
Passengers had officially complained to SPT that they had been “thrown about” in the new subway carriages.
According to SPT, the trains met all required safety standards and the dampers were added to improve “ride quality”.
