WORK to redevelop Glasgow’s Queen Street Station is months behind schedule.
Main construction on the £112 million scheme was meant to get under way this month but Transport Scotland last night admitted the work was now planned for the second quarter of this year – meaning it could be as late as June before the bulldozers move in.
The project will see the main entrance at George Square replaced by a huge glass façade with a new ticket office and longer platforms.
The redevelopment, which was complicated by a planned extension of the adjacent Buchanan Galleries shopping centre being shelved in 2015, is expected to be completed by 2019.
A Transport Scotland spokesman confirmed the project was still on budget and that some advance works, such as fitting out of the temporary ticket office, was already under way.
