  • Glasgow Central station is poised for a full reopening on Wednesday, more than two weeks after a significant fire in a neighbouring building led to its partial closure.
  • All train services operating from the major transport hub, including those by ScotRail, Avanti West Coast, TransPennine Express, CrossCountry, and Caledonian Sleeper, are set to resume.
  • The main section of the station remained shut for over a week while demolition work continued on the fire-damaged structure, which began as a blaze in a Union Street vape shop.
  • Network Rail Scotland confirmed that significant progress on the demolition allowed for a reduction in the exclusion zone, facilitating the complete resumption of services across all platforms.
  • While most station facilities will reopen, a small exclusion zone will remain in place, keeping the Gordon Street and Union Street entrances shut, with staff on hand to guide passengers to alternative access points.
