Clyde Metro

Clyde Metro is a proposed multimodal mass-transit system for Glasgow, Scotland, and the surrounding area.[1][2][3]

In 2022, a Scottish Government review of public transport in Scotland, the second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2),[4] made a series of recommendations to public transport provisions, of which one was Clyde Metro.[5]

Incorporating existing modes and routes, including the Glasgow Subway and existing rail lines, the proposals outline the possibility of new light surface-running metro lines and heavy rail converted into heavy metro, with expansions of the latter.[6]

The Scottish Government notes that the recommendations in STPR2 are 'not fully funded and is subject to the funding allocations agreed by Parliament each year through the annual budget process'.[7]
