Glasgow City Centre, IFSD

Description:

St Enoch's busiest sub-way station is to be upgraded, creating a flagship city centre station.

The cost of upgrading one of Glasgow's busiest Subway stations will be £5.3million.

The upgrade is part of the transport body's plan to carry out improvements to all 15 Subway stations in advance of driverless trains being introduced.

The revamp includes new glass canopies inspired by Glasgow's Kibble Palace, which are set to make it a striking feature in the heart of Glasgow's shopping district.

The Subway station, which services almost 2 million residents and visitors per year, will have a new station office combined with a travel centre making optimum use of space underground.
SPT is also taking steps to make the Subway more accessible by installing a lift at St. Enoch. It will be first of two stations to have lifts introduced, with the other lifts at Govan station. This will provide accessibility from the city centre to a key interchange at Govan bus station and the new Fastlink service. When both lifts are in place it will provide a vital link from the Subway for onward travel to the new Southern General Hospital.
