BDP Project Insights: Guided Tour of Glasgow Queen Street Station
Kicking off our Glasgow’s 850th anniversary celebrations and Project Insight Tours, BDP is delighted to offer a unique close-look at one of the city’s most significant transport landmarks for a behind-the-scenes architectural tour.
The redevelopment of Glasgow Queen Street Station, completed in 2021 as part of the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme (EGIP), has redefined the passenger experience at Scotland’s third-busiest railway station. The design not only enhances connectivity but also celebrates the station’s heritage framing the Category-A listed Victorian train shed at the heart of the redevelopment. The result is a striking new civic gateway that welcomes millions of rail-travellers to Glasgow each year.
The tour will be led by Edward Dymock, BDP Architect Associate Director and Project Lead for the redevelopment. Through a short presentation and guided walkthrough, Edward will share the story behind the station’s transformation, from design concept and heritage integration to the challenges and innovations that shaped the project.
