| Comment | My money-no-object solution:
* New station at the airport
* Run the trains through Paisley then up the spur into Braehead
* New station serving Braehead
* New tunnel/bridge over the clyde. Combine it with the new Yoker bridge.
* Connect to the existing railway at the depot in Yoker
* Run trains through Partick into Central Low Level and/or Queen Street
* There's space for the track to be trebbled between Hyndland & Partick. Might be room elsewhere too.
* Reopen the disused low level platorm at central.
You'd get two major new stations, and could have direct services to the airport from Edinburgh, Fort William and Ayrshire.
Monstorously expensive but there's going to be a new Clyde crossing anyway, and the only alternative would be a just-as-cripplingly-expensive Central High Level expansion. |
