An underground link between the Clyde waterfront and the east end of Glasgow via the city centre would cost between £60m and £120m , according to a study (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7136815.stm Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) said the route could carry 1.6 million passengers each year. On Friday , councillors will be asked to approve a £250,000 appraisal of the scheme which would link Parkhead with the underground at St Enoch's station. SPT said it was more "cost-effective" than a £2.3bn plan publicised in March. |

There is more on this in the latest 'Rail' magazine. The new route would use some old tunnels and alignments no longer used since the beeching cuts. With Glasgow being host City for the 2 thousand and something (apologies I dont know what year) commonwealth games this could strenghen the case.
