    Glasgow’s landmark buildings seem to have the worst luck with fire, and this will be a nightmare for travel too. I hope nobody is hurt

    It’s awful. Heard the dome had collapsed too. The main thing is that no one is hurt.

    The train I was on to getting back from Power Comic Con at the SEC was supposed to stop at central. But a distressed sounding message from the driver told us they were going straight through to Argyle Street instead. Didn’t know at the time but this was why.

    The fire is on the Union Street entrance side of Glasgow Central station.

    STV have some info. https://news.stv.tv/west-central/streets-closed-as-firefighters-tackle-blaze-in-glasgow-city-centre

    And Glasgow Live are doing live updates as they get them. https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/glasgow-central-station-fire-live-33554234

    Some folk tried to put out the initial fire but it was already too dangerous. It was definitely the vape shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01svM2zWUAM
