What is the main train station in Glasgow?

Glasgow Central (GLC)



Glasgow is served by two primary railway stations, and the "main" one depends on your destination. Glasgow Central is the largest and busiest, serving as the gateway for all trains coming from England (like Avanti West Coast and Lumo) and the South West of Scotland. It features a stunning Victorian glass roof and a massive concourse. Meanwhile, Glasgow Queen Street is the primary hub for trains heading to the rest of Scotland, including the high-frequency shuttle to Edinburgh and services to the North and the Highlands. The two stations are about a 10-minute walk apart, and there is a complimentary shuttle bus (Bus 398) for passengers with a valid rail ticket. If you are arriving from London, you will almost certainly arrive at Glasgow Central, which is located in the heart of the city's shopping and business district.
