How long to walk from Glasgow Central Station to glasgow queen street station?

Prefer to walk? It's about 15 minutes on foot between stations.



Walking between Glasgow's two main rail hubs, Central and Queen Street, typically takes 10 to 15 minutes for a person with a brisk pace and light luggage. The distance is approximately 0.5 miles (800 meters) through the city's pedestrianized shopping district. The most common route is to exit Central Station via the main entrance on Gordon Street, walk straight along Gordon Street, turn left onto Buchanan Street (the main shopping thoroughfare), and then right onto St Vincent Place or George Square to reach the Queen Street entrance. In 2026, the walk is well-signposted with "City Wayfinding" maps. If you have heavy bags or mobility issues, there is a frequent inter-station bus link (usually the Number 398) that is free for those with a valid through-train ticket. However, because of Glasgow's city-center traffic, walking is often faster than waiting for a bus or taxi during peak hours.
