Glasgow Central high level stays closed after fire Glasgow Central high level stays closed after fire

The main platforms at Glasgow Central are set to stay closed until next week at the earliest, following the major fire in a building next to the station on Sunday. Network Rail is concerned about an unstable wall adjoining the station, and said assessments need to be carried out before the rest of Glasgow Central can be used again. However, trains to places such as Dalmuir, Larkhall and Motherwell are calling again this morning at the low level platforms 16 and 17.

RMT announces strikes in four-day week dispute RMT announces strikes in four-day week dispute

London Underground train operators who belong to the RMT are set to stage three pairs of walkouts in March, April and May in a dispute over four-day working, which would mean fewer but longer shifts. It is reported that ASLEF is not objecting to the idea, but the RMT says it is concerned about the possibilities of staff becoming tired, putting safety at risk, and that its members have also voiced objections about shift lengths and unacceptable working time arrangements.
