Fire at Glasgow Central, Scotland’s busiest train station

The fire started in a VAP store ; They thought they had it under control but it restrted and it spread very quickly.

The street where the fire started is a very main thoroughfare.

The railway stattion is the biggest in Glasgow and its closure is horrenndous for the city.

No one is sure when it will reopen.

In the eighties , i worked just two blocks away from where the fire was.

Yes it was the missus who alerted me to it after she saw it on her mobile. At first I assumed it was the Grand Central hotel which horrified me as it's a beautiful old building attached to the station which is also beautiful. Used the station regularly for years so glad to see it escaped the fire. I even remember seeing the Flying Scotsman steam train when I was a boy.

The fire did seem to spread very quickly even after the fire brigade had started to tackle it. I imagine what remains of the building will be demolished. It was a nice old building but not one of the best in the city.

The station will still be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, but they hope to start something later in the week.

Dramatic footage of the morning after.
