    It?s interesting that they?ve had to relocate things like the control room
    and PA system, presumably because the whole northern part of the large
    building is inaccessible, even to staff. It must be either unsafe, or was damaged in some way.

    My interpretation is that it lies inside the cordon that surrounds the
    Union Corner building, which is unsafe. This also restricts the
    number of entrances.

    'Glasgow City Council established an exclusion zone around the
    fire-damaged building while demolition work takes place on the
    remaining part of the facade.

    'This cordon will continue to cover the upper part of Central Station, including the Union Street, Gordon Street and Hope Street entrances,
    Network Rail said.' https://news.stv.tv/west-central/glasgow-central-high-level-to-partially-reopen-following-devastating-fire

    Has it not already been demolished? Of course, rubble removal will prevent access to the station?s Gordon St entrance for a while.

    I thought only the worst parts were demolished while a decision was
    made about full demolition.

    Ah, I must have misunderstood. It sounds like full demolition is
    inevitable, but I wrongly thought it had happened already.

    I suppose there will now be years of arguments about what should replace
    it, and which insurers are liable.

    I see it has indeed reopened:

    https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/live-trains/arrivals/glasgow-central/

    It?s handling 1 tph Avanti services on platform 10, with the remaining
    Avanti services continuing to terminate at Motherwell.

    Is platform 10 the one used for the Caledonian Sleeper?

    Platform 11, I believe.
