Original station

William Arrol (1839 - 1913) was a Scottish civil engineer and bridge builder. ...

The station was soon found to be too congested. A temporary solution of widening the bridge over Argyle Street and inserting a ninth platform on Argyle Street bridge was adopted.^[1] It was also initially intended to increase Bridge Street station to eight through lines and to increase Central Station to 15 platforms.^[1]

Low level station

The low level platforms, in what was originally a separate station, were added to serve the underground Glasgow Central Railway, which was authorised on 10 August 1888 and opened on 10 August 1896.^[1]^[4] The Glasgow Central Railway was taken over by the Caledonian Railway in 1890.^[1]^[4] Services ran from Maryhill Central and from the Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway in the west through to Rutherglen and via Tollcross through to Carmyle, Newton and other Caledonian Railway destinations to the east of Glasgow. // The Glasgow Central Railway company received royal assent in 1888. ... is the 222nd day of the year (223rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The 1901 - 1905 station

Between 1901 and 1905 the original station was rebuilt.^[1] The station was extended over the top of Argyle Street and thirteen platforms were built.^[1] An additional eight-track bridge was built over the Clyde;^[1] and the original bridge was raised by 30 inches (0.75 metre).^[5] Bridge Street station was then closed.^[1] Year 1901 (MCMI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Monday [1] of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ... 1905 (MCMV) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar). ...

The station is on two levels - the High Level station at the same level as Gordon Street and which bridges over Argyle Street, and the underground Low Level station.
