Queen Street Railway Station

• "Scabby"

  Glasgow City Council will hate me for saying this, but Queen Street Station is a horrible little place. Unlike its big brother, Central Station, this station can really only be described as "scabby". It's always dirty - literally, I have never seen it look clean - and smells particularly bad. The shops are terrible and overpriced, and the staff just really don't care (not that I blame them, having to work in a place like that all day!) Granted, aesthetics are not too important in a train station but since this is a relatively major hub of Glasgow transport, I would like to see it restored and cleaned up a lot so that visitors to our fair city don't think badly as soon as they step off the train!

• Glasgow Queen Street Station

  Glasgow Queen Street station is the third busiest station in Scotland and the main gateway to Scottish destinations north of Glasgow; the station is split over two levels. High levels diesel trains operate a ‘shuttle’ service to Edinburgh Waverly, with departures every 15 minutes for most of the day. Hourly services to Aberdeen call at Perth and Dundee en-route to their destination. Less frequent services to Inverness, Oban, Fort William and Mallaig also depart from the high level. Low Level services form part of the north-Clyde electric line with services from Helensburgh and Balloch in the West, through to Airdrie and Drumgelloch in the East.

• Queen St

  Queen Street Railway station, the smaller station in Glasgow, is still a busy hub of transport. Most notable for its 15-minute interval trains to Edinburgh, and thus connecting trains to Newcastle etc, there are a variety of shops where last minute purchases can be bought. There is of course a modestly sized WH Smith, where confectionary, books, drinks and food and be bought. Also there is a station bar, a burger king and toilets. The building itself is nothing short of eye opening, and trains by-in-large come on time.Unlike Glasgow Central, there are automatic ticket checking machines at a barrier. Recommended.
