Train services at Glasgow Central High Level are set to be disrupted into next week, National Rail has warned, after the Union Street fire on 8 March which closed the station.
Platforms 7 to 15 were able to reopen on Wednesday, allowing a number of ScotRail routes to be restored. Avanti West Coast is running one train an hour, and Caledonian Sleeper has also returned, but passengers are being warned that parts of the High Level station remain closed, very few facilities are available and several entrances are out of use.
Neither CrossCountry nor TransPennine Express are serving Glasgow Central yet, and they are not expecting to do so until some time next week.
TransPennine Express trains are terminating at Carlisle, while CrossCountry passengers are being advised to travel via Edinburgh.
The fire-damaged building in Union Street next to the station is being demolished and this is causing disruption at Central station, where some areas remain cordoned off.
ScotRail said: ‘Public safety is the main priority with the demolition process ongoing, and an exclusion zone has been established by Glasgow City Council around the fire damaged building. Barriers have been erected inside the station marking the exclusion zone which limits customer access and movement.’
