I can confirm this.

The reason I ask is that I'm sure that I can see a straight line (more or less) to and from both Stations when standing on their respective platforms.

Cos the exits at Argyle St are down and under the platform rather than straight
up from the platform, as at Central and Anderston.

Could this possibly be the street that is being discussed.
For detail of its position etc, go to http://www.scran.ac.uk and do a search for "glasgow map". There is an 1857 OS map of Glasgow clearly showing this street (when the terminus of the line was south of the river at Bridge Street). There is also an 1895 OS map showing the new Central station.
