GLASGOW Central Station is set to have all of its entrances reopened after the fire which engulfed the station's north-east side in March.

The station's exclusion zone will reopen on Monday, July 13, allowing access to the full concourse.

Following that, the Gordon Street and Union Street entrances will reopen on Friday, July 17 upon which the temporarily pedestrianised carriage driveway will be closed to customers and the station will resume normal operation.

Liam Sumpter, managing director at Network Rail Scotland, said: "The reopening of the Union Street and Gordon Street entrances is a significant milestone in Glasgow Central's recovery and means the station will once again be fully open to passengers.

"Our teams have worked tirelessly over the past few months to prepare for this moment. Thanks to their efforts, we can now welcome passengers back through every entrance and return Scotland's busiest station to normal operation.

"I'd also like to thank our passengers, retailers and railway colleagues for their patience and support. With the Commonwealth Games just around the corner, it's fantastic to be able to fully reopen the station and help Glasgow welcome visitors from across the world."
