GO Train

Scotland’s largest city has two main train stations – Glasgow Central in Argyle Street and Queen Street station in Queen Street.

Designed by architect Sir Robert Rowand, Glasgow Central station [map] first opened in 1879 but it is still as elegant as ever, so much so it won Station of the Year in 1999.

More than 34 million people pass through the station every year on their way to, or arriving from, many of the UK’s major cities, including Manchester, Birmingham and London, on trains operated by mainly Virgin Trains or GNER.

The station has many facilities to help ensure your train journey is a positive experience, including high street shops, Thorntons, Superdrug and WH Smith, as well as eateries such as Burger King and Upper Crust. There are also 13 platforms, and an on site hotel and an information office, where you can book tickets, pick up a timetable or have your problems dealt with by friendly staff.

Queen Street station [map], which is situated just north of George Square, receives services from the capital, Edinburgh, and cities in northern of Scotland, such as Inverness, Aberdeen and Perth.

Glasgow Central station is close to St. Enoch underground and Queen Street station is close to Buchanan Street underground, while the two stations are only ten minutes walk from each other making it easy to travel between them.
