“BETRAYAL!” bray the out-of-date silo thinkers of Scottish Labour, rushing to the defence of their prohibitively expensive pet project of a rail link between Glasgow Airport and Glasgow Central Station.
For the town of Paisley to survive the forthcoming Brexit recession, they know that the existing rail route through Paisley simply must remain at full capacity and regularity, and that it must be further flood-proofed.

Onward connections for Glasgow Airport passengers are indeed poorly facilitated by two separate Glasgow train stations, with the Glasgow underground being connected to only one main Glasgow rail station, and an isolated Glasgow bus station.
So, shuttle pod it must be, between Paisley Gilmour Street and Glasgow Airport, but also underground moving walkways between Glasgow Queen Street rail station/Glasgow Buchanan Street Bus station, and Glasgow Central station/Glasgow St Enoch Square underground station.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
