Glasgow Central disruption

Glasgow Central’s high level platforms (where Avanti West Coast trains run) remain closed with no trains able to run due to the impact of the nearby fire. Until at least the end of Tuesday 17 March, Avanti West Coast trains will start and end at Motherwell, which you can reach using ScotRail services from Glasgow Central low level station (now reopened) or nearby stations.

The majority of our trains between Scotland and London are able to run normally to/from Motherwell and Edinburgh. Our other routes, such as to Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and North Wales are unaffected by this disruption. We'll provide more information as soon as we can on the potential reopening of the high level station.

What are my ticket options?

  • Connections to Motherwell are available with ScotRail. You can use your existing ticket at no extra cost from Glasgow Central low level, or the neighbouring stations of Anderston and Argyle Street, to catch a direct train to Motherwell. From there, Avanti West Coast trains are running to and from London. Please allow extra time for your journey and check before you travel at the link below.
  • You can also use your existing ticket at no extra cost on ScotRail services between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh, with onward journeys south available from Edinburgh.
  • Avanti West Coast tickets dated 8-19 March can be used at no extra cost on any Avanti West Coast train on the same route until the end of Thursday 19 March.
  • No longer wish to travel? Due to the disruption, your unused ticket is eligible for a full refund (no admin fee). Claim your refund from where you bought your ticket.
