Glasgow Central Station

Glasgow Central Station is the larger of the two mainline railway stations in Glasgow. It first opened in 1879 and today it is the terminus for intercity services from all over the UK, as well as servicing the greater Glasgow area. It is the tenth busiest railway station in the UK. Five railway companies serve the station: CrossCountry, East Coast, ScotRail, First TransPennine Express and Virgin trains.

If you are visiting Glasgow for business or leisure purposes and looking for comfortable, yet affordable hotel accommodation handy for public transport options, the Sandyford Lodge will suit you perfectly. We are located just 1.5 miles west of Glasgow's most important train station and our recently renovated hotel offers 19 bedrooms, all of which are ensuite and offer every modern convenience, from hairdryers and direct-dial telephone to free Wi-Fi and flat-screen televisions.

Visitors arriving into Glasgow Central Station will be delighted to discover a building that is as historic as it is modern. It offers shopping and refreshment facilities and there is a wide choice of shops and entertainment options all along nearby Union Street. There are a number of architectural features worth noting in the station. The glass-walled bridge over Argyle Street is nicknamed "Highlandman's Umbrella" as it was historically known as the meeting place for Highlanders visiting the city. Below the bridge you will discover the Arches, a theatre, gallery, restaurant and nightclub complex. Another interesting feature is the retail concourse (former central ticket office and travel centre) housed in a handsome Edwardian building.

The Sandyford Lodge is conveniently located whether you are in Glasgow for a weekend break to see the sights or a business trip that requires you to be near the Exhibition Centre. Our prices include your choice of a full cooked Scottish breakfast or continental breakfast, served to all our visitors in the dining room every morning.
