To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on plans to progress the proposed (a) Clyde Metro and (b) Glasgow Airport link, and when it anticipates that construction will commence.
The Case for Investment for Clyde Metro is being led by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), supported by Glasgow City Council, with Transport Scotland providing a project assurance and support role.
This key stage of the development process, which will include consideration of access improvement to Glasgow Airport, will inform decisions around network selection, phasing and implementation. This work is already underway and progressing in earnest with completion currently anticipated by early 2027.
Further details on the progress of the Case for Investment stages can be obtained by contacting SPT directly at [email protected].
