The events team cope with cup final fans, and sniffer dog Floyd finds a suspect package.

Documentary series following the staff in Glasgow Central Station. The events team cope with cup final madness, and sniffer dog Floyd discovers a suspect package.

Documentary series following the people that work all hours to keep Scotland’s busiest train station on track, delving into the buildings history with stories of the past. 

Central Station has been at the heart of Glasgow for 140 years, running over 950 trains a day for 32 million passengers a year. Day and night for one long summer we meet the people who make the station work. Central Station has long been Scotland’s busiest; it’s the Northern terminus of the West Coast Main Line from London and the starting point for travel to hundreds of stations in mainland Britain. Over the decades the station has knitted itself into the lives of many people. For generations of Glasgow folk, particularly those that work here, Central station has become part of the family. 

In this second episode, John and Colette cope with the Scottish Cup final crowds trying to smuggle alcohol on dry trains, and the station staff cope with angry customers as the summer heat causes havoc on the tracks. Tour guide Paul uncovers a Victorian platform deep in the bowels of the building, and we hear how the famous bridge that takes the trains into central got its name. Tricia in the Blue Lagoon chippy gives her Syrian colleague a lesson in Glaswegian, and Craig takes us on a musical journey on the Transpennine Express. Sniffer dog Floyd discovers a suspect package, and Drew puts his security team to the test. What does station manager Susan have to do to rank as number one UK station? And will the ticket office staff get the bank holiday revellers to their destinations on time?
