Later there was even talk of converting some of the "heavy rail" to "light rail". However some of the "heavy rail" projects have been realised, the Argyle Line, Maryhill line, Carmyle line and others about to happen like to Larkhall. Perhaps this time the Subbie will breakout of it's circle but is it really another circle that is needed or something a little more ambitious?
On the subject of Merkland Street station, the new Partick station, with interchange to the Blue Trains I think was built on top of the old Merkland Street station, or at the very least within a few feet of it.
The book 'Circles Under The Clyde' featured this image at the back of
the book. Whether or not any of these suggestions will come to fruition
remains to be seen. I'd hazard a guess that *if* any expansion proposals
actually happen, then it would more than likely use old railway line
formations.
