The link below refers to a similar rail construction in Scotland and rail connection is the term they opted for. "Modernisation In 1973 the Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive took over control of the Glasgow Underground. In 1977 the system was closed to allow a £60 million modernisation scheme to replace the 1890 rolling stock and infrastructure. The work that was carried out included: a new **rail connection** from the tunnels to the surface depot; crossovers allowing access from the circles; new maintenance buildings; new track, power supplies and signalling; longer platforms to accommodate three-car trains and a new fleet of trains. Six of the busier stations were modified with side platforms to ease congestion and provided with escalators. Three stations, St Enoch, Partick and Govan were completely rebuilt." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 12 mins (2005-06-23 06:27:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.transcience.freeserve.co.uk/light-rail/glasgow.ht... |
