Glasgow Central will remain closed at least into Tuesday, while @fire_scot work to contain the fire on Union Street and make the area safe.
Once that’s complete, our team need to inspect the station itself for any damage. As soon as we can share more news on timescales, we will.
Got my first tattoo today. Beautifully designed by the wonderful Tam Pirrie, based on my daughter’s beloved IKEA KORALL BLACKFISK octopus. Absolutely love it.
Strange to think that I’ve got a maximum of 28 shifts here at Central. Then onto my new position, still within ScotRail.
