Realistically, STPR2 contained zilch about altering the M8 corridor in Glasgow. So it's not even on the table as an infrastructure project any time within the next 10-20 years.

It's only by Glasgow commissioning a feasibility study, and then pushing for inclusion of the project in STPR3 (whenever that is, if it's even called that 15-20 years from now) that replacement or redevelopment of the city centre M8 will ever happen.

So, for now it's not really competing for cash with other projects which have already for the go-ahead. Like the Clyde Metro and other public transport improvements that you mention.

Of course, there are things short of a massive infrastructure project that *could* be done in the short-medium term, to test the waters. Much lower limits or tolls on the route for example. I could see this being explored in the next 5-10 years.
