Don't know if they're ever used much these days. The line stops at the new shopping centre but used to continue to Renfrew with stations at Deanside, Renfrew (Kings Inch) and Renfrew (Porterfield Road).

Years and years ago, there was apparently a proposal to extend the Hyndland terminus line to Botanic Gardens via a new tunnel under Great Western Road. Looks like that's the possible plan here. I think it's an admission, of sorts, that the 1970s built plan of connecting the Central and Queen...

Where is this proposal listed?

Maryhill Park.

The record number of marshmallows (604) stuffed up one nostril, Toxteth O'Grady.

All original 13 high level platforms as Glasgow Central used to have those hydraulic buffers. Platforms 2 & 3 and 4 & 5 lost theirs when the platforms were shortended around 1985 to accommodate the new dot matrix departure baord. Platforms 12 & 13 lost theirs after that, possibly when they added...

Glasgow St Enoch had a cab road, accessed from the ramp from St Enoch Square.

Well, the Zonecard has been around for years. http://www.spt.co.uk/travelcards/zonecard/ It's ridiculous they don't have a phone app for the Zonecard yet. I used to buy monthly First Bus tickets but then lost it one day when it still had over 2 weeks left on it. That made my mind up and I...

Dalmuir - Springburn via Yoker Scotstounhill Jordanhill Barnhill

I never said it was a problem. I was responding to you saying "not everyone can use the stairs".

There's already a set of lifts, halfway along the lower-level platforms. They are accessed from platform 7 on the high-level. Been there for 40+ years.

I recall a few years back reading online somewhere about a shuttle service that went St Enoch - Gallowgate - Gallowgate Central - Bridgeton Central, as ridiculously short as that would've been. Cant find it via google though.

26 June 1966 (last day of service...) a class 27 propels it's empty coaches towards Saltmarket Junction.

Yes, only Platforms 1 & 2 could access the northern exit out of the station.

Had the Bruce Report ever been implemented, GQS High Level would've been a bus station, with the lines routed into Glasgow North, an expanded 16-platform Buchanan Street station. http://urbanglasgow.co.uk/about1055.html James H

The Cowlairs chord and the through lines at Springburn are already wired.

As far as I'm aware, the current tracks are the ones that were accessed by the island platform. The outer tracks were lifted and the space built over, which explains why the current platforms are so wide. James H

Queen Street low level had four tracks prior to electrification in 1960. http://urbanglasgow.co.uk/about2757.html James H

Correct. It would have to be a deep-level tunnel & station, and I'm not convinced Glasgow has the substrata to support such a thing. The Glasgow Subway actually passes under both Queen Street and Central Low Level lines, but IIRC just about all of the south-of-the-Clyde section of the Subway was...

Since it's all hypothetical, why not modify the St Enoch centre back into a railway station? Lose the car park and have the ground floor maintained as shopping units, a bit similar to the current Saint Pancras. Build a new car park in the triangle of land between the north and south rail...
