Current status: Answered by Nicol Stephen on 30 September 2004
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it would support the creation of a direct rail or tram link from Glasgow to Braehead.
We have awarded £535,000 to Glasgow City Council to carry out a Clyde Corridor Transport Study, which includes investigation of the potential for a fixed tram link between Glasgow and the Braehead shopping centre. The final report has only recently been submitted to the Executive. Its findings and recommendations will be given detailed consideration. New infrastructure proposals will be assessed in due course as part of the Strategic Projects Review.
