Glasgow Central Station fully reopens its concourse and related areas about four months after a major fire at the Union Corner area. Multiple outlets report that the blaze began on 8 March and led to the creation of exclusion zones and ongoing stabilisation work inside the station. In recent updates, the final exclusion zone is removed, and the Union Corner building is demolished, as the station’s internal and adjacent areas return to normal access. Reports also say stabilisation measures, including work to the gable and associated structural work, are completed, with scaffolding removed. Separate coverage states that the wider station entrances and surrounding street areas are scheduled to reopen fully, with one outlet citing a specific date: 17 July. Other coverage indicates Glasgow City Council confirms stabilisation of the affected area has been completed. Taken together, the reports describe the end of the major fire-related restrictions and the return of full public access to the station concourse and nearby entrances and street following extensive repair and safety works.
