To rationalise the city's mainline services, Bruce suggested that all four Victorian railway stations be demolished and replaced with two new purpose built stations. A new Glasgow North station was proposed roughly on the site of Buchanan Street station (occupying a larger area) to replace Buchanan Street and Queen Street stations.
Bruce proposed a plan to improve the city's rail network by replacing the existing Victorian stations with modern replacements. The new Glasgow North station would be built near Buchanan Street Station, taking over the space occupied by both Buchanan Street and Queen Street Stations.
