ScotRail has announced that Glasgow Central will partially reopen tomorrow following the fire on Union Street.
Platforms 7 to 15 will be back in use from start of service tomorrow, with as many trains as possible set to run.
However, not all services can resume due to the limited number of entry and exit points.
To keep passengers safe and away from the demolition zone, barriers are being erected to mark an exclusion zone to limit access.
From the start of service on Wednesday, the following will operate:
- Ayr and Glasgow Central – a half hourly service, calling at all stations between Paisley Gilmour Street – Kilwinning (Johnstone / Milliken Park / Howwood / Lochwinnoch / Glengarnock / Dalry).
- Gourock and Glasgow Central – an hourly service, calling at all stations.
- Wemyss Bay and Glasgow Central – an hourly service, calling at all stations.
- Kilmarnock and Glasgow Central – a half hourly service, calling at all stations (integrated with normal Carlisle/South Ayrshire services).
- East Kilbride and Glasgow Central – a half hourly service.
- Lanark and Glasgow Central – an hourly service.
The following entrances to the station will remain closed:
- Hope Street (adjacent to Waterloo Street).
- Gordon Street.
- Union Street.
“I am very pleased we will be able to welcome customers back to Glasgow Central high level following the partial reopening of the station from Wednesday.
“We realise the closure is causing significant disruption for our customers, and we’re very sorry for the impact it is still having on journeys.
“Resuming services on more than half the high level platforms in the station is a big step forward and will ensure as many people as possible can travel into Glasgow city centre.
“The safety of our customers and staff remains our absolute priority, and while we have limited platforms and access points to the station available, we will operate as many services as we can. We will keep the timetable under regular review and when it is safe to add more services we will do so.
David Ross, ScotRail Chief Operating Officer
“Our teams continue to work hard to keep people moving, and we’d encourage customers to check their journey before travelling using the ScotRail app or website.”
