That old branch line underneath London Road is definitely one of the more appealing ones!

If we're picking and choosing wee interventions, that one gets my vote - rather than the c.2006 subway loop.

With that line reopened:

* Celtic Park gets a train station to service it (maybe only on match days?)

* Bridgeton Cross turns into a sort of mirror of Edinburgh's Haymarket, with two lines meeting there on the way into Glasgow.

* As you move towards the city, I'd reopen the old Glasgow Green Station (next to the WEST Brewery). It's a shame there's no station here - you've got a 1.8km stretch around the heart of the old city centre completely bypassed by trains! It'd be great for making the People's Palace and the green more accessible, as well as serving Calton and the Barras.

* I'd reopen Glasgow Cross too (and close Argyle Street). If the Union Line was used as well (with lines from the Southside to the East End and/or Queen Street Station), you could build a two level station in the [**Mercat Building**](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Glasgow_Mercat_Cross_and_Mercat_Building.jpg) - if ever a building was meant to be a train station!
