  • A major fire near Glasgow Central railway station caused significant disruption and dozens of train cancellations on Sunday evening.
  • The blaze, which started at a four-storey commercial building on Union Street at 3:46 pm, led to the closure of Scotland's busiest station.
  • Over 60 firefighters, supported by 12 appliances and three high-reach vehicles, battled the fire for more than four hours.
  • No trains are operating to or from the high-level platforms, while low-level services are bypassing Glasgow Central entirely, with ongoing disruption expected.
  • There have been no reported casualties, and some ticket acceptance is in place for passengers, including Avanti West Coast tickets on LNER services between Edinburgh and London King's Cross.
