Glasgow Airport rail link dead after Scottish budget passed
05.02.10
All hope that the Glasgow Airport Rail Link might be revived ended on Wednesday when MSPs voted through the Scottish Government's budget for the forthcoming year, despite a last minute plea by the airport's boss.
Glasgow Airport MD Amanda McMillan said this week that cancelling plans for the rail link left a ‘gaping hole’ in passengers access options. She urged MSPs to re-think the decision because it has negative effects on the city's reputation, tourism and business. But the minority SNP Government squeezed through their budget with the support of the Conservatives, Green Party and Independent MSP Margo Macdonald, in the face of opposition from the Labour party.
