The emergency services and Network Rail are assessing the damage caused by the fire near the station, and ScotRail will provide further updates on its services as soon as more information becomes available.

David Ross, ScotRail’s chief operating officer, said: “Glasgow Central will remain closed on Tuesday while the impact of the fire in the building next to the station is assessed and we expect disruption to continue for several days.

“We’d like to thank our colleagues in the fire and emergency services who worked incredibly hard to tackle the blaze and prevent it from spreading to the station itself.

“We know this closure will cause significant disruption for our customers, and we’re very sorry for the impact this will have on their journeys.

“Our teams are working hard to keep people moving where possible, and we’d encourage customers to check their journey before travelling using the ScotRail app or website.”
