Overview
- Network Rail says Glasgow Central will stay closed throughout Tuesday, with all services to and from the high-level platforms suspended and low-level trains running through without stopping.
- Firefighters report no casualties after Sunday’s blaze that began in a Union Street vape shop and left much of the 1851 building collapsed with only sections of the façade standing.
- Operators warn of several days of disruption, with ScotRail advising limited replacement options, Avanti running amended services to Preston, Carlisle and Motherwell, and TransPennine cancelling Glasgow Central routes.
- Structural assessments, including drone surveys, are under way and timescales for reopening will be set once safe access and checks are complete.
- More than £80,000 has been raised for businesses destroyed in the fire as officials signal scrutiny of vape-shop licensing near critical transport infrastructure.
