The SNP's transport spokesman Stewart Stevenson today joined Osama Saeed and other Glasgow SNP candidates in launching a petition to have Glasgow included in the UK high speed rail network.
A new campaign leaflet was also unveiled at Glasgow's central station.
The Labour government recently announced plans which excluded Glasgow in favour of including more English cities.
Osama Saeed commented:
"The doors haven't closed on this and the train certainly hasn't left the station. Glasgow can still be included but we need to replace Glasgow's do nothing Labour MPs with local SNP champions to make this happen.
"There has to be a vigorous campaign for this city and we will lead on this in Parliament."

Now is the time to take control of our resources and future! Labour have taken this country for granted for far too long! A hung parliament is a balanced parliament which is an oportunity for a whole country. "SCOTLAND" Time to redress the balance because labour have taken their vote for granted for too long. The only party willing to fight for this countries rights is the SNP, a vote for the other parties is not an option as they are the ones who preach at every oportunity that as a Scot you are in when the fact is we pay more to the UK than we get back! Unforgiveable in my mind and racist as it`s directed at a whole country. Sick of hearing how we are somehow better off in the union when we would be better off running our own economy!
