Business leaders from across Scotland are joining together with transport experts, green campaigners and politicians in calling for Crossrail Glasgow to be approved as an urgent priority.
Crossrail Glasgow is the ‘missing link’ in Scotland’s national rail network. The project will close the gap over the river Clyde, allowing for a host of new rail connections to be made across Strathclyde and the rest of the country.
This is a project of national significance as it will enable services from Edinburgh, Perth, Aberdeen and Inverness to connect to a whole range of new destinations. Crossrail Glasgow also has the potential to improve access to Glasgow and Prestwick International airports for travellers from across the country as well as those in the West of Scotland.
An added bonus will be much better connections across the Strathclyde region. At present, there are no direct rail routes running from the southwest to the northeast of the city. Crossrail Glasgow will allow these travel options to become a reality, enabling direct services to potentially run from East Kilbride, Barrhead, Kilmarnock and Ayrshire to the north of Glasgow and beyond.
