However, the proposed new Allander Halt between Hillfoot and Milngavie which he mentions will not just be a case of building a station and providing an adjacent car park. The traffic-restricting single-line section between Westerton and Bearsden already leads to delays when Milngavie-bound trains are running late and trains from Milngavie are forced to wait at Bearsden station for them to clear the section. The time needed for an additional station stop will make this problem much worse.
