> 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.

I remember that one of Stockholm's train line is also endearingly tiny too?

Half the Berlin lines are weirdly narrow, but not short.

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.
