Glasgow Central lights up blue in support of NHS staff

Glasgow Central was lit-up blue this week to show support with NHS staff and other key workers across the country.

Scotland’s busiest station joined with other Network Rail stations in lighting up in NHS colours to salute the dedication by staff against the Coronavirus.

The illumination of Glasgow Central comes as people throughout the country once again joined in a mass round of applause at 8 pm on Thursday.

Staff at the station also came together at 8 pm under the station’s iconic clock to join the applause.

The lighting of Glasgow Central Station has been undertaken by the Stage Group, following the clear social distancing messages from government and has not involved any unnecessary travel.
