Central Station bosses are considering allowing the public to walk on the famous glass roof, which is one of the world's largest. For the first time, the station is taking part in this year's Doors Open Day, in September, where the public gets free access to hundreds of unique and historic buildings.

It's a long walk to the concourse from platform 11a at Glasgow Central, where passengers are seen disembarking from a class 334 EMU on 3 August 2007. Plans are currently in hand to realign and extend this short platform back into the station, following which it will handle trains operating on the planned Glasgow Airport Rail Link. Work on the required structural alterations is due to commence by mid 2009.
