A walk home through Kelvingrove Park and along the Kelvin Walkway ending our first proper "Rudy's Railway Adventures" day out. I hadn't quite realised what exactly I would enjoy about a "visit all the stations" challenge yet so this day was really

At Exhibition Centre there's really only one thing a tourist has to do and that's get a selfie in the famous red tunnel! The covered footbridge from just outside the station leads to the Scottish Event Campus which includes the huge Hydro arena, the
