A huge blaze engulfed a building at Glasgow Central Station on Sunday causing it to partially collapse.
The fire started in a vape shop on Union Street on Sunday afternoon, with the B-listed Victorian building collapsing several hours later as flames spread.
All train services at Glasgow Central, Scotland’s busiest station, are expected to be cancelled until at least the end of Monday. National Rail said there was “no estimate on when the station will reopen”.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service urged people to avoid the area as crews continued to battle the blaze at 05:00 GMT, more than 13 hours after firefighters were first alerted. No injuries have been reported.
Following a meeting at midnight, Network Rail said: “As things stand we’ve not identified any significant damage to the station. We’ll get this fully assessed at first light.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said more than 60 firefighters and 15 vehicles were in attendance at the scene.
Six crews were initially sent to the scene on Union Street at about 15:45 local time, but the fire worsened into the evening.
Smoke had initially been seen billowing out of the building next to an entrance to the station.
However within hours flames could be seen, with eyewitnesses describing it on social media as looking “catastrophic”.
