The Clockwork Orange Project is an experimental literary project taking place on the Glasgow Subway, sponsored by the Royal Society of Literature, & is open to anyone living in or around (or with some meaningful connection to) Glasgow.
The goal of the project is to reimagine urban public spaces as sites of community and creativity, and to produce work that is collaborative, interactive and experimental.

The Glasgow subway has two lines, the Inner Circle and the Outer Circle; one goes clockwise and the other anticlockwise. So if one line is suspended for any reason, you can still get to your destination by taking the other line, even if it takes a bit longer.
