Glasgow Central Station to close for 2 days after fire damage compared to ‘something out of the Blitz’

Glasgow Central Station will remain closed on Monday and is likely to be closed on Tuesday following a large fire, Network Rail has said.

The closure comes after fire crews were sent to Union Street at about 3.45pm on Sunday to tackle a fierce blaze billowing from a vape shop.


The inferno spread around the corner to Gordon Street, moving towards the main entrance of the station and the Grand Central Hotel – with fire and smoke filling the night sky for hours after the fire began.

Many businesses were destroyed in the fire, which Labour MSP Paul Sweeney compared to the devastation from “the Blitz”, with nearby hotels evacuated and roads sealed off.
