Frontage, Glasgow Central station
Frontage, Glasgow Central station 
 The imposing frontage of Glasgow Central station as it was rebuilt between 1901 and 1905 when the original station was deemed inadequate. The Caledonian Railway employed the renowned Scottish architect Robert Rowand Anderson to design the structure. The western end of the station is dominated by the Grand central Hotel that sits at the junction of Argyle Street and Oswald Street. With its fortunes having waxed and waned over the years, it is no firmly open for business for those who wish to experience its four star luxury. I took a photograph during my 1984 Railrover taken in the same position as this and, apart from the taxi being an Austin Ambassador rather than a VW Passat, very little has changed!
