Future station at Parkhead?

[NorthClyde320]

Apologies if this is elsewhere but couldn't find anything.

With the ridiculous decision by First to axe the service between Baillieston and Airdrie, this has now cut the direct link to Parkhead Forge & Market, people wishing to make this journey will now have to use 2 different bus companies or use the train to either Shettleston, Bellgrove, Carmyle or Mount Vernon and switch to the bus to Parkhead costing people more inconvenience and money.

I wonder (and hope) if this may lead to calls for a new station at Parkhead, which i'm sure I have heard and seen rumoured about for a number of years with no progress.

What are peoples thoughts and opinions?

Bare with me in the history department.
Parkhead North was the original station not to be confused with Parkhead Station on Whitby St on an old disused line.
Parkhead North i believe became a buroo (unemployment office/job centre)
Last time i looked it had become a happy clappy American church.
There been talk of opening a station at the Forge since the shopping centre opened.
An honest answer would be it's down to money.

There has been recent (last year) correspondence on this see online documents here https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-18-03216/ that describe the current situation, but to summarize St Rollox is 100% correct, there is the desire to have a station here but not the money
