Compare Car Hire in Glasgow Queen Street Station

Glasgow Queen Street train station is the smaller of Glasgow’s two main rail termini (next to Glasgow Central) and sits at the north end of Queen Street adjacent to George Square, bang in the middle of the city centre.

The station supports the transport needs of Glasgow and its sprawling suburbs, serves the Edinburgh Waverley shuttle train and is the terminus for all inter-city services to destinations further north in Scotland. This is the 24th-busiest train station in the UK, and Scotland’s third-busiest, processing 16.4 million passengers annually.

Queen Street was built by Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway and opened in 1842 and had a major redevelopment led by civil engineer James Carswell in 1878. When the neighbouring Buchanan Street station closed in 1966, its train services transferred to Queen Street, which caused problems as its positioning made it tricky to deal with longer trains. However, another huge development currently underway will extend platforms so they can easily cope with trains of up to eight carriages, while other improvements include an expanded concourse, and new station facilities including a ticket office, lost property, accessible toilets and retail space. Furthermore, Queen Street will have fully accessible entrances from Dundas Street and George Square and aesthetically, the entire complex will have an airy, expansive, contemporary feel inside and out.
