The Glasgow Airport Rail Link, approved by the Scottish Parliament in November 2006, included the provision of 2 new dedicated platforms at Glasgow Central utilising land occupied by a car park (see image 18812) with the platform lines entering through the station arch. Although the planned airport link was shelved in 2009, the new platforms 12 & 13 were completed and brought into use the following year. The photograph shows a DMU for Paisley Canal at platform 13 in 2012 with the opened up station arch in the background.
