Redevelopment of Queen Street Station, Glasgow
|
|
|
|
The third busiest railway station in Scotland, Glasgow Queen Street, is being expanded to form a larger facility with superior services for growing passenger numbers. Announced in 2014, the station redevelopment will be part of the £742m ($1.08bn) Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP). The station redevelopment project is being managed by Network Rail, financed by Transport Scotland, and monitored by ScotRail Alliance. Network Rail selected Buchanan Partnership as the development partner for the project. Quoted from the Railway Technology website .
Bier Halle (sic)

I thought 'beer hall' was one word in German, i.e.... Bierhalle .
The best kept box is slap bang in the centre of Buchanan Street. This box also turns into a shop during the summer months, with a large ice-cream cone hung outside to indicate the box-sized parlour is open for business. Quoted from the Discover Glasgow website .

Clyde Clock

The Clyde Clock is an odd specimen; a stainless steel statue of a running pair of legs, with a cube clock as a body. Aptly positioned outside Buchanan Bus Station, whose army of vehicles almost always run on time (and past which many passengers run to catch them), it was created by Glasgow artist George Wyllie. The work was commissioned by the local radio station, Radio Clyde, to celebrate their 25 years of independent broadcasting. Wyllie designed it to chime just once, at 8pm, which he considered to be the ideal meeting time. Rather superstitiously, shortly after Wyllie passed away in May 2012, the clock stopped working. As the Mitchell Library launched a retrospective exhibition showcasing Wyllie’s work entitled “In Pursuit of the Question Mark,” Radio Clyde and MSP Drew Smith launched a successful campaign to get the clock running again (pardon the pun). Quoted from the Discover Glasgow website .
Police Box, Cathedral Gardens, Glasgow

Like the Wilson Street box, this one was originally red, and rests at the north-west corner of Cathedral Gardens. It was originally missing the crowning lamp, but this has since been replaced. Quoted from the Discover Glasgow website .
