New computer generated images have been unveiled showcasing how the interior of the new £120 million Glasgow Queen Street station will look once finished.

The station is being transformed to create more space for longer eight-carriage trains. With 75% of all demolition work now complete, the project team will soon start work to strengthen the foundations to support the new and improved station structure.

Features include expanding platforms two to five out towards George Square, taking up the majority of space covered by the Victorian train shed roof. A new glass-fronted concourse, almost double the size of the existing space, is being built to accommodate the predicted increase in passenger numbers.

Once completed, the new concourse will be filled with natural daylight and fully accessible with entrances on George Square, Dundas Street and North Hanover Street. The listed Victorian train shed roof has also been carefully incorporated into the new structure and is fully exposed when viewed from platforms.

Jenna Clark, Network Rail project manager, said: "Using these latest computer generated images, passengers at Glasgow Queen Street and the surrounding community can start to visualise how much bigger and brighter their improved station will be.

"The transformed Glasgow Queen Street is a modern building that has been carefully designed for the needs of today's rail passengers but the Victorian train shed roof remains a key part of the structure and will be visible throughout the enhanced station."

Work to redevelop Glasgow Queen Street will complete in Spring 2020.
