Plans for direct train-tram link between Glasgow Airport and city [BBC News]





Date: 24/11/2016

Plans to create a train-tram link between Glasgow Airport and the city centre have been unveiled. The £144m Glasgow Airport Access Project would see journey times cut to 16.5 minutes and would bypass the need to use the busy M8. It would involve a specially-designed tram-train using the existing railway network and on-street tracks. It comes seven years after the Scottish government scrapped plans for a direct rail link on the grounds of cost.
