| Comment | One of the ideas proposed in the big 2008(ish?) Scottish Transport Projects Review, was the idea of rebuilding a terminal station at St Enoch (on the site of the car park at Stockwell Street).
Idea is that this would take over local services to the South and South West, leaving Central to handle medium/long distance routes to Ayrshire, Dumfries etc. and on down to England.
The St Enoch station would use the mostly disused Union Line (the one that crosses the Clyde near the Gorbals) to connect to the southern/south western lines at Laurieston in a gap that was retained underneath the M74.
Think there's a big chance this will happen in the medium term, given the capacity issues at Central, which aren't going away. |
