| Comment | > I do believe it’s high time there was a rail/tram link between the centre of Glasgow and the airport but again, that would involve two (three?) councils working together to make it possible.
The two councils (Glasgow & Renfrewshire) have been working together for a few years to develop, initially, the business case for an individual 'metro' line to the airport, which has since grown into a wider scope Clyde Metro plan involving many more lines. Their joint funding of this initial business case is what kicked off the whole Metro project https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-51008481
> I also believe that the Southern General (showing my age now) should be more easily accessible by rail.
The recent Clyde Metro concept maps suggest one of the preferred options is a heavy-rail or potential tram-train extension of Paisley Canal, to wrap around western Paisley, serving the airport, Renfrew, Southern General, and looping back to the city centre along the Clyde corridor.
