Glasgow Airport rail link row continues
07.10.09
The leader of Glasgow City Council has accused ministers of providing misleading information about the cost of the city's airport rail link, cancelled late last month. Steven Purcell expressed concerns to MSPs over what he believes is double-accounting on the project.
Ministers announced the link would be axed on September 17 amid concern over rising costs and impending Scottish budget cuts. But Mr Purcell said yesterday that the project costs had only gone up by £2.5m - not the £70m he said he was quoted by the government. The Scottish government has disputed Mr Purcell's £2.5m claim, saying the costs were constantly changing.
