About Glasgow Central Station
First opened in 1879 during the heyday of Glasgow's shipbuilding and industrial era, Glasgow Central Station is one of two main train stations serving Scotland's second city, along with Queen Street Station. Glasgow Central is the principal intercity terminus for train services to England, and it also serves the Clyde and Ayrshire coasts. Additionally, it's an important hub for local bus services, and has a direct connection with Buchanan Bus Station, along with other places throughout the city.
