Glasgow Central Station Closed Until Next Week During Demolition Work
Demolition of an unstable Victorian building adjacent to Glasgow Central forces closure of high-level platforms, while low-level services partially resumed, disrupting Scotland's busiest station.
- High-Level platforms at Glasgow Central will stay closed until at least March 18 as demolition contractors began work on Friday at the adjacent fire-damaged site.
- After Scottish Fire and Rescue Service handed the site to Glasgow City Council on Thursday, the council said demolition must happen for public safety after a Sunday blaze gutted a Victorian-era B-listed building.
- Low-Level services resumed on Wednesday, but Network Rail says engineers cannot access the high-level platforms as an exclusion zone covers Renfield Street, Union Street, Gordon Street and Hope Street.
- Network Rail says planning for a phased reopening is ongoing, and ScotRail COO David Ross warned there will be no High Level services until at least next Wednesday, causing travel chaos next week.
- Engineers report no significant structural issues with the station, and Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken pledged support for shops and businesses within the cordon while workers dismantle a chimney stack.
