Strathclyde Partnership for Transport held a four month public consultation into proposals to build a rail link to Glasgow Airport. The formal consultation process closed in February 2005. 82% of respondents supported the Glasgow Airport Rail Link and 81% said that they would prefer a viaduct for crossing St James Park.
Nearly 3,000 individuals and organisations were involved in the process both locally and nationally.

Which option do you prefer for crossing St James Park?
There was a total of 1638 formal responses. An additional 284 people attended public meetings and focus groups and 917 people visited the exhibitions stands at various locations in Glasgow and Renfrewshire.
The public consultation into SPT's plan to build an airport linking Glasgow Airport and Glasgow Central station began on Monday 1 November.
The consultation saw more than 20,000 information leaflets distributed to homes and businesses along the route of the proposed link. A further 15,000 leaflets were distributed on local train services. A series of public exhibitions and meetings have been held and a website has also been established.
