Cllr Alistair Watson, chair of Strathclyde Passenger Transport
Authority, is to visit Nuremberg, Turin, and Toulouse to assess metro
developments in these cities.
At the SPTA meeting which approved this visit, Councillor John Mason
asked that there should be a written report on the visit and a
commitment to this was give. John Mason said he had serious
reservations about expanding our narrow gauge railway rather than
having a full size one. The advantage of a tram or metro
system with the same gauge as the main railways would be to allow much
more flexibility of services, interchanges, etc. Cllr
Watson promised to report back on this point after his visits.
