- Glasgow Central Station and Union Street will fully reopen on Friday, July 17, following extensive stabilization efforts after a fire destroyed the Union Corner building earlier this year.
- The fire began in a vape shop on Sunday, March 8, destroying the B-listed Victorian building and forcing closure of station entrances while crews stabilized the site.
- Network Rail Scotland confirmed the full station concourse reopens Monday, July 13, with Liam Sumpter, managing director at Network Rail Scotland, calling the restoration a "significant milestone."
- Councillor Angus Millar, convener for city centre recovery at Glasgow City Council, confirmed the reopening allows "people and vehicles to move far more smoothly" through the area.
- Ahead of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games on July 23, architectural firm O'Donnell Brown will develop a "meanwhile use" for the cleared site over approximately four years.
