However, it strikes me that they wouldn't need to knock any buildings down. I don't think the high rise flats actually interfere with the site itself and from Springfield Road, it looks like there's a fence around the entire old station. The line (I think) could be extended up to Tollcross without too much interruption.
it could get as far as the united biscuits factory without too much hassle
the cuttings and bridges have been filled but not removed although the embankment would have to be reinstated at the end of the tenament across fom tollcross park, but it is built over on both sides of Braidfauld St
i think the line was considered for reinstatment at the same time as the argyll line dont know why it didnt happen
