Fire, believed to have started in vape shop, gutted building next to station and destroyed shops, salon and cafe
Glasgow Central is to remain closed until at least Tuesday after a building next door to Scotland’s busiest railway station collapsed during a major fire.
National Rail said the station would remain closed with no estimate on when it would reopen after the fire, believed to have started in a vape shop in Union Street on Sunday afternoon.
The blaze gutted the mid-Victorian Forsyth building that surrounds one corner of the station in Glasgow city centre, destroying shops and businesses including a well-known fish and chip shop, the Blue Lagoon, a salon and a cafe.
On Monday morning, nine fire appliances and three high-reach Scottish Fire and Rescue Service vehicles were still at the scene, working to douse the remaining flames. There were no reported casualties.
