Yeah, the Connectivity Commission highlighted this line as one of several across the city that would be ideal to be reopened as part of a light-rail / metro network.

Slight difficulty with this old Glasgow Central Railway line, is that there's a semi-recent housing development where the old Kirklee station is. Could be dealt with by compulsory purchase order of course.

Curiously, Maryhill Central Station, which this line served, was on the site of the current Tesco. The Tesco was built on stilts with enough clearance should a rail line ever be needed in future. So it's all still possible!
