By the year 2024 passengers will be whizzed city to city in half an hour. It will make life easier for commuters. And there will be great social and cultural benefits.
Glaswegians will have no excuse to avoid the Edinburgh Festival. On the other hand, Edinburgh is so crowded at festival time there is a case for overspill events in the west, what with Glasgow being only 30 minutes away. Guardian readers in Islington will be able to say: "I'm just back from the Edinburgh festival. I had a right good night out in Sauchiehall Street."
