Glasgow Central Station - Busy Main Entrance Train Review

this is the main entrance to Glasgow Central Train Station - on Gordon Street.

Use this way, not the side routes, at night, for your own comfort and safety.

As you can see the building architecture is very pretty, so walk around with your head held high to see the best! This is an hotel, as usual.

Walking Between The Train Stations - A Nice Way Train Review

For those of you needing to get from one train staion to the other, it can be very worrying, so this tip is to help you walk it, confidently, along a pleasant route.

It takes about 10 minutes, with a rucsac, if heavy bags - take a taxi.

From Central Station come out the main entrance (Gordon Street) and turn right. Walk onto pedestrianised streets.

(This photo is of Buchanan Street, looking back South. Gordon Street is to the right of camera, walk down this to reach Central Station).

Continue walking away from Central Station(east) passing the bookshop on your right (the Old Exchange), down a small but lovely alley, bringing you to the Gallery of Modern Art (Queens Street) and many street cafes, then turn left to George Square. With the Square infront of you, you will see Queen Street Station opposite and to the left of the Square.

This route avoids nearly all traffic. It can take a few hours if you want of course!

Glasgow Has Two Train Stations! Train Review

This picture shows Glasgow Central Train Station - and what a lovely, airy, clean place it is, with a few good shops ( a nice delicatessen) and well policed.

Trains from the West and South come into Central Station.

The other train station is Queen's Street - for services East (Edinburgh) and North (Inverness and Abedeen). This second station is much smaller and far less impressive, but is saved by having George Square outside!

The two stations are a 10 minute walk apart.

Glasgow's Tiny Underground Underground Review

Tiny Trains!

Like most Metros, I'd be uncomfortable travelling alone at night.

This picture shows the entrance at Queens Street, middle of the day. Not used much, which is a pity since the roads are congested and fumes pollute the air.

I think it needs investment, but the Council probably have many other projects too.
