New platforms now arriving at Glasgow Central [Network Rail]





Date: 27/10/2011

Network Rail has begun work on a multi-million-pound project to transform the platforms at Glasgow Central, Scotland’s busiest station. Around £10m will be invested in renewing the 15 platform surfaces making them compatible with disability discrimination legislation and a range of associated improvement works. Platform one is currently under renovation and the works will be delivered in phases between 2011 and early 2014 to minimise disruption to the day-to-day operation of the station. The project is expected to be completed without disruption to train services at Scotland’s busiest station, which handles 1,200 trains a day and nearly 40m passengers a year.
