Glasgow Central Station Closed Until Next Week During Demolition Work
Glasgow Central's busiest station remains partly closed due to demolition of a fire-damaged Victorian building; lower-level services resumed while safety work continues, Network Rail said.
- On Friday, Glasgow City Council began demolishing the fire‑ravaged Union Corner site after assuming control yesterday and deciding demolition was necessary on safety grounds; only the Gordon Street façade remains standing.
- On March 8 the fire took hold of a four‑storey commercial building on Union Street, and within hours the 175‑year‑old B‑listed Victorian building suffered extensive damage and partial collapse as firefighters remained on site for four days before SFRS handed the scene to the council.
- Contractors have moved in and are working from suspended platforms above Union Street, prising brickwork loose and dismantling chimneys by hand while fencing secures Renfield Street, Union Street and Gordon Street.
- Glasgow Central remains closed with services disrupted, Network Rail says high‑level platforms stay closed until March 18 while partial reopening and alternative transport on McGill's buses are explored.
- Youngsters from Òganan Gaelic Childcare recently visited the city centre where nearly 300 firefighters worked on the March 8 blaze, presenting emergency crews with doughnuts and earning praise online.
