A 'new milestone' has been reached in a huge project at a Glasgow train station.

Network Rail has said the original staircase has reopened at Anniesland station in the West End as part of its accessibility project.

The rail firm says the stairs to platform 2 opened after colleagues from Scotland's Railways met to conduct final inspections before opening them on Tuesday, July 16.

Earlier this year, Network Rail says a temporary route was created, taking passengers away from these stairs while engineers prepared the station for the installation of lift towers.

Following that, in June 2024, the steel structures that house the new lifts were installed.

The work is all part of the 'Access for All' programme which aims to make it easier for people with impaired mobility or those travelling with luggage, children, or bicycles to travel on the country's railway.

Amanda Naughton, scheme project manager, Network Rail, said: “Following the successful installation of the towers last month, we are delighted to mark continued progress with the reopening of the original stairs at Platform 2.

“The next phase of work involves the electrical components that will power the lifts being put in place and the brickwork cladding reinstated at the base of each lift tower.

"The station’s power supply will also be upgraded.  

“Thanks to our neighbours and the local community for bearing with us while this essential work is carried out.”

At platforms 1 and 3, the stairs have been shut since October 2023.

Network Rail says these will also be reopened to passengers when the project is completed later this year.
