All train services at Glasgow Central Station were cancelled after a large fire destroyed a neighboring building in the city center, prompting emergency closures and a major response from fire crews, according to BBC NEWS

Authorities said the blaze broke out in a building close to the station, sending thick smoke across the surrounding area and forcing rail operators to halt all services as a safety precaution. Emergency crews worked to contain the fire while police closed nearby streets.

Rail operators said passengers should avoid the station while firefighters and investigators manage the scene. The disruption affected multiple routes across Scotland as Glasgow Central is one of the country’s busiest rail hubs.

Officials have not yet confirmed the cause of the fire, and assessments are underway to determine whether the railway infrastructure near the station sustained any damage. Services are expected to remain suspended until safety checks are completed.
