This brings with it challenges for passengers and staff alike, as the station’s low level closes for 8 weeks meaning more footfall on the upper level of the station which general manager, Kat and her team manage to keep passengers moving. The renovations reveal relics of the past in Anderson Station which historian buff and Tour Guide, Paul investigates with ex-railwayman and historian, Jim.

Meanwhile fellow tour guide Jackie looks for some pieces with the wow factor for the Glasgow Central Museum to fill the void of the Victorian platform being closed during her fully booked tours. Since the Ukraine war began, staff at Central make preparations for a possible influx of refugees through the station.

They welcome the first Ukrainian family to arrive on a train from Stranraer who are passing through Glasgow to London, to make sure they make their connection. A Scotland game at Hampden sees the concourse flooded by football fans during rush hour but there are not enough trains.

It’s up to station team manager, John to get everyone moving so they reach the game on time. Outwith the station the Network Rail helicopter takes to the skies to survey the lines around Central for faults due to hot weather and elsewhere station manager, Drew calls in the emergency services to help with a pigeon trapped in the station.

The first episode of Inside Central Station's fourth series will air on Monday, September 5 2022 at 8pm on BBC One Scotland. It will be available for catch up thereafter on BBC iPlayer.
