Sorry, I shoud've been clearer and just linked to the Strathclyde Tram map earlier to show exactly what I meant.

You can see the planned route here, though it's not a high res pic. https://urbanglasgow.co.uk/strathclyde-tram-leaflet-from-c-1994-t456.html

West of Maryhill it would be an on-street tram.

The only portion making use of existing rail infra would be between Maryhill and Kelvinbridge. After running through the park to Finnieston, it'd also be "on-street" all the way through the city centre out east to Easterhouse. Running along a route that's roughly: Kelvin Way, Argyle Street, St Vincent Street, George Sq, George Street, Duke Street, Carntyne Road, Edinburgh Road.

The 2nd pic has the first planned stage of the route, between Maryhill and Easterhouse. A pic lower down has a small image of the "final" optional upgraded route, which would've stretched out to Drumchapel using surface streets.
