Could trains calling at Garscadden be retimed, to provide a more even interval service?

At my local station (Garscadden) there are 2 trains each way per hour but all 4 trains in total are due with a 12-15 minute time period.

Could they be spread out a little?

It's bunched in the same place both ways, especially towards town as when I looked earlier the trains were at 40 and 47.

Miss that 47 one or if anything goes wrong then it's a 53 min wait.

they are bunched because of timings with crossovers at junctions wtc.. especially garscadden with services there having busy crossovers at Hyndland East Jn, Rutherglen East Jn

Yeah the Hyndland one always used to be an issue when I got the train to school. Used to get off at Jordanhill but my train always had to sit there because there was a train that came via Anniesland that was due 2 mins before it. Was the issue with trains being due every 2/3 mins at peaks. Talking 12/13 years ago now mind you. Seems to be better from what I've heard compared to then though
