Due to a serious fire off railway property outside Glasgow Central station, all trains to and from the station are cancelled. The fire has been in progress since 1540, and is not yet under control as at 2116, it is now reported to be threatening the Blue Lagoon fish and chip shop- dangerously close to the station.
The last train movement before full evacuation was at 1724.
The Voco Grand Hotel is also reported to have been evacuated.
This is expected to last until at least the end of today, maybe longer depending on the damage.
Some sources are saying that assisting fire crews have been sent from as far away as Stirling and Edinburgh.
A number of Avanti and TPE trains are being held on the tracks at various places between Lockerbie and Central, others are being terminated short at Carlisle or Preston. In due course they may have to be terminated at Lockerbie, Carstairs or Motherwell or diverted to Edinburgh.
Check before travel tomorrow, as trains and crews will be out of position, leading to short notice changes, cancellations and maybe diversions to Edinburgh if possible. Tickets are being accepted from Queen Street to Edinburgh on Scotrail then LNER forward.
Services are still running (but non stop) through Central Low Level.
Sleeper passengers tonight are to travel (at no extra cost) with Scotrail from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh on the 2100 - 2130 - 2200 - 2230 and 2300 services, from where the train will leave at midnight.
Tomorrow morning they are expecting to be diverted to Edinburgh, for Scotrail to Queen Street.
