"The project remains on track, on time and on budget." That'll be the revised (longer, dearer) timetable and budget then?

Archie Graham says, "The project remains on track, on time and on budget".
The project is a MASSIVE £45 MILLION OVER-BUDGET (original funding was £40 million and the "expenditure forecast" - as already reported in the ET - currently stands at £85 MILLION) and the flop is now going to be AT LEAST TWO YEARS LATE.
It is a shameful embarrassment to the ET that it cannot get the figures correct, and that it allows council mouthpieces to mis-inform the public unchallenged by factual evidence.

Things cost more these days!!

As this building will probobly be mainly of steel construction - it's no wonder it has gone up in price!
But then again, maybe we should'nt build anything interesting in our city and sit at home and snipe annonomysly on web forums when people try to do something constructive!!

Unlike a lot of other Govt projects this one will actually benefit the people and provide a new home for the fantastic transport museum.
I'd rather they spent the money on this than daft sculptures along the motorway and the like....
It's educational for the kids and tourists alike and is a big attraction for Glasgow.

is it just me, or does the 'size of one football pitch' sound a bit on the small side, especially given the cost of the project? I would have thought that the current museum has a larger footprint than that.
As for 'iconic world-class building', I'm a wee bit sceptical. It won't even be the most interesting building on the banks of the Clyde - the Rotundas and the Finnieston Crane are far more interesting. For a current iconic museum type building look up the new science and arts centre in Valencia and compare with Zaha's rather dreary renders for this venture

Oh Cindy my dear fellow,

I believe the Transport museum is something that brings much joy to all the generations of Glasgow. A new and improved version could only heighten this.
We need such showpiece buildings to put Glasgow on the Map. Fair enough - the buildings may be bold, modern and some might say cold - but these are now the symbols of our city.

I think the bus lane for this service is in already (starts at the Tall Ship rdbt).

Looking forward to the new museum when its ready. Note I said when its ready - not when its overpaid/late/hyped. Don't care about any of these things. Will just be happy when its opened. Unlike some of the correspondents. They'd start a fight in an empty room. what is it about unmoderated forums that brings out the worst in people?

I was told the new transport museum will only be able to show 1 bus at a time, surely this is not on, glasgows transport history of buses is big - they only had 3 in the first place, life for buses didnt end after 1958 - theres plenty of stuff they should have saved. All of the buses are now stored PRIVATELY out of the publics eye in Bridgeton, another unfair decision by the powers that be.
