Network Rail has announced that the glass frontage at Glasgow Queen Street was lit up in blue to show support for the NHS.

Scotland’s third busiest station joined other attractions like Glasgow’s SSE Hydro and Falkirk’s Kelpies in lighting up in NHS colours to celebrate the dedication of NHS workers in the battle against the pandemic.

The lighting up of Glasgow Queen Street was undertaken by the Stage Group and followed social distancing messages from government

The station frontage was lit up blue from just before 8 pm until 11 pm on Thursday 9th April.

What did the officials say?

Alex Hynes, Managing Director at Scotland’s Railway, said:

“We are delighted to illuminate the new glass façade of Glasgow Queen Street Station as a symbol of public support for the vital and fantastic work of NHS staff who are tackling the coronavirus.

“We are hugely grateful to everyone in the NHS and all key workers across the country, including those in our railway family, who are playing a massive role in supporting all of us across the country at this time.”
