Huge Fire Shuts Glasgow Central Station Indefinitely. A major fire at a vape shop forced the closure of Glasgow Central Station, Scotland’s busiest railway hub. The blaze broke out in a four-storey building on Union Street near the station, prompting dozens of train cancellations on Sunday. The building partially collapsed as firefighters battled the fire for several hours. Network Rail said the station will remain closed “until further notice” while emergency services manage the incident. More than 60 firefighters and several fire appliances were deployed to tackle the blaze affecting the ground floor of the building. First Minister John Swinney thanked emergency crews and urged the public to avoid the area and follow travel guidance. Paul Sweeney, Labour MSP for Glasgow, confirmed the historic building, dating back to 1851, had partially collapsed during the fire. Rail operators including Avanti West Coast and TransPennine Express cancelled services and advised passengers to seek alternative routes.
