The above link has two images from 1951. The proposal was for a Glasgow
North railway station. Basically, it involved significant remodelling of Buchanan
Street Station, closure of Queen St High Level, with the Queen St mainlines
being diverted at Cowlairs to run into the Buchanan Street site instead. An
interesting point was the complete excavation of the Buchanan Street tunnel,
quite a lot of earth moving there.
I recall reading of a Glasgow South station idea, which presumably was around
the same time as the above scheme.
