Don't worry, they'll just do what everyone else does and take a few key councilors out for drinks and a meal and the deal will be done.
Glasgow Council is so corrupt it sickens me.

Access to the site is planned at Anderson Street via a roundabout. Benalder Street will be the pedestrian access, and the really good news is that there will be accomodation for 1,000+ students!
There goes the hood.

The large mound of rubble you mention encountering in the Yorkhill tunnel is likely to be a crude flood prevention method, to prevent the River Kelvin washing out the Central Low Level line again as happened on December 11th/12th 1994. There is a feature on the incident on this site http://www.hiddenglasgow.com/rail/flood1994/index.htm. On that occasion Gibson Street Tunnel was the culprit but with the northern portal of Yorkhill tunnel being just a few feet above the river the risk must be just as high. Both tunnels originally merged just short of Exhibition Centre Station but I am not sure if part of the Yorkhill tunnel was excavated to form the trackbed of the Eastbound Argyle line from Kelvinahugh Junction to Exhibition Centre.
