| Comment | Yep, agree with everything here.
A new "main city rail station" was one of the ideas shortlisted in the last Scottish Transport Projects Review (STPR) back in 2007/8. Wasn't chosen bit it's very likely to be included again in the upcoming STPR 2 to be published soon this year.
Like you say, the costed plan was/is for a new main terminal station to be built off the union line, where the King Street car park is now. Idea being it takes on some of the services coming from Ayrshire, leaving capacity at central for more local services (and possibly a HS4 platform and Glasgow Airport platform).
Those Ayrshire services could then use the Union Line to continue on to the rest of Scotland (meaning travellers don't need to switch between Central and Queen Street). |
