Avanti West Coast to resume full service from Glasgow Central via Preston after major fire
Full train services, including Glasgow to London via Preston, recommence at Glasgow Central after Union Street fire disruption ends.
Avanti West Coast will return to a full timetable at Glasgow Central later this week, following a major blaze.
The rail operator will run its full timetable from Wednesday (March 25), when all high-level platforms will reopen following the huge fire on Union Street. This includes the Glasgow Central to London Euston service, which stops at Preston.
Avanti West Coast will operate two trains per hour to and from Glasgow Central – resuming its full service at the station.
The operator’s Ticket Office and First Class Lounge will also reopen for customers on Wednesday.
With a small exclusion zone still in place at the high-level station, there may be some changes to boarding services – with Avanti West Coast staff on hand to help customers.
Chris Liptrot, Operations Director at Avanti West Coast, said: “We’re pleased to be resuming our full service at Glasgow Central and want to thank our customers for their patience and understanding over the last two weeks.
“Our Ticket Office and First Class Lounge will also reopen. We’re continuing to work with Network Rail and industry partners to ensure people can safely move around the station.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming customers back and as always would encourage them to check before they travel for the latest updates about their journey.”
