Glaswegians Optimistic as City Centre Area Reopens After Devastating Fire
- On Friday, Union Street and the remaining entrances to Glasgow Central Station fully reopened at midday, ending months of disruption following a devastating fire.
- Flames began in a vape shop on Sunday, March 8, destroying the B-listed Victorian building and forcing closure of key city centre routes for months.
- Deputy First Minister Jenny Gilruth said the government provided up to £10 million in support to local businesses, while dental practice manager Lucy Cairns reported business was down about 25%.
- Network Rail Scotland managing director Liam Sumpter called the reopening a "significant milestone" as the station returns to full capacity ahead of next week's Commonwealth Games.
- Architectural firm Donnell Brown has been appointed by Glasgow City Council to explore "meanwhile use" for the site, which may remain without a permanent building for up to five years.
