Glasgow Central Station to Partially Reopen After Huge Blaze
Platforms 7–15 reopen with limited ScotRail and cross-border services after safety checks following a fire; major entrances remain closed and facilities unavailable.
- Network Rail confirmed Glasgow Central Station's high level will partially reopen on Wednesday, March 18, following a major fire that forced Scotland's busiest station to shut on Sunday, March 8.
- A fire began in a vape shop on Union Street and spread through the B-listed Victorian Union Corner building, destroying the historic structure with only the facade at the Gordon Street junction left standing.
- Glasgow City Council ordered demolition of the "very unstable" building, with experts working to safely tear down remaining parts after the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service handed the site to council officials on March 12.
- ScotRail will reopen platforms seven to 15 on the west side, though passengers must use the Argyle Street entrance and Hope Street carriage driveway as main entrances remain closed due to ongoing demolition work.
- Network Rail says reduced capacity requires passengers to check journeys before traveling; ScotRail Chief Operating Officer David Ross said "We will keep the timetable under regular review and when it is safe to add more services we will do so.
