I was on this tour yesterday with some colleagues from the CIOB, it was a real eye opener, full of interest, intrigue and the tour guide Paul was enthralling. Everyone in our group loved the tour and Pauls' inimitable style really added to the experience. As a proud Glaswegian, there was so much I just didn't know about the iconic Central Station and the vital role it served in both world wars. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has in interest in Glasgow, Scotland, social history or architecture.

I never thought that a tour of a train station would be so interesting and educational. These train stations are the life line of these cities and they their impact on local culture and overall history are amazing. Flávia was my tour guide and she provided a ton of history not only about the station, but Scotland in general. It was a really cool tour also because they take you down into the lower underbelly of the station!

The tour of the underground station in Glasgow. Jackie was a wonderful tour guide, she really gets you involved in the tour. It was a wonderful way to learn more of our Scottish history , really well done We will come back again when you get your train 👍

Booked the tour after watching the television series about the station and it exceeded expectations. Fun and informative about the station and Glasgow, our guide Jackie’s passion and humour means this tour should be up there with key places to visit in Glasgow. Bargain at £15 per person. Absolutely loved it!

I think that over the years we have passed through Glasgow Central Station on several dozen occasions. However on most of these, our visits have been mad dashes to catch a train, or to quickly get somewhere in Glasgow once we have got off from a train. However twice over the past few months we have had some spare time on hand which allowed us to have a good look around and take some photos.

Glasgow Central is one of two main stations in Glasgow( the other is Queen St, which serves northern and central Scotland). Central is the main station for services in southern Scotland, the south bank of the Clyde and to English destinations such as Carlisle, London, Liverpool and Manchester. The station has 15 surface platforms and 2 underground platforms for local services. Central is a fine listed Victorian station with most of its original features retained such as the old ticket office, the station roof and the glass walls overlooking Argyle St. While most stations are boring, functional places to catch a train, Central has an impressive set of eateries from a steak house, a champagne bar to branches of Costa Coffee and Pret A Manger. Also there is a pleasant waiting room and plenty of seating on the concourse. The staff are friendly and helpful( not always the case in some stations) and the station is easy to get around. My only gripe is the departure screens only show which platform your train is departing from 10 minutes before your journey, which means you might have to rush to catch your train and there was a bit of a rugby scrum on the platform where my train was departing from. Otherwise this is a fine station and an asset to Glasgow.

This was one of the best tours I've ever been on. Paul, our guide, was friendly, informative and very funny. He kept everyone engaged with his 'Glesga patter'. Hearing stories of the first world world troops was harrowing but was conveyed with dignity. The Victorian tunnels were also very interesting and hearing that there are plans to lay some track and bring in an old steam engine make a second visit in he future worthwhile.

We did the tour of Glasgow Central today. Our guide Paul was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and very entertaining. Paul initiated the tours and you can tell it is his passion. There are new things happening in a few weeks and it will be worth going back again. Glasgow should be very proud of all the work he was done. Would highly recommend the tour

Fantastic tour. Jackie was informative and entertaining- not an easy task! She kept the tour light hearted but respectful when needed e.g. at the WW1 wall. As a Glaswegian just shows how much I still don't know about my own city.

Went on the Glasgow Central Station tour having watched "Inside Central Station" on the BBC Scotland channel. This is a fascinating tour, wonderfully brought to life by the amazing guide Jackie who, in addition to her in depth knowledge of the history and operation of the station, had a real talent for theatre and drama and was also fabulous at engaging with the audience. Her lively presentation covered the history and architecture of the station and brought in lots of other topics too including the social history of Glasgow and the rise and fall of shipbuilding. We were warned that some parts of the tour would be very warm but I didn't find it too bad. However anyone with mobility issues would need to be careful as there are a lot of steps and not many places where it's possible to sit down. All in all an excellent tour which I can't recommend highly enough. And well done to "force of nature" Jackie, excellent work!
