Passengers using Glasgow's Queen Street Station are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys as work gets under way on a major tunnel renovation. A high-level tunnel used by Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Stirling services shuts on Sunday for five months. Customers will have to be escorted to the trains from marquees outside the station building. Most journeys will be approximately 25 minutes longer as trains are diverted to a lower tunnel or Glasgow Central.
