Original station

The original station, opened in 1879 on the north bank of the River Clyde, had eight platforms and was linked to Bridge Street station by a railway bridge over Argyle Street and a four-track railway bridge, built by Sir William Arrol, which crossed the Clyde to the south.^[2] The River Clyde, looking eastwards upstream, as it passes beneath the Kingston Bridge in Central Glasgow. ... Bridge Street station was the original Glasgow terminus of the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway; jointly owned by the Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock Railway (GP&G), which later merged with the Caledonian Railway, and the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway (GPK&A), which became part of the Glasgow and... 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.^[2] It was also initially intended to increase Bridge Street station to eight through lines and to increase Central Station to 15 platforms.^[2]

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^[2].^[3] The Glasgow Central Railway was taken over by the Caledonian Railway in 1890.^[2]^[3] // The Glasgow Central Railway company received royal assent in 1888. ...

The 1901 - 1905 station

Between 1901 and 1905 the original station was rebuilt.^[2] The station was extended over the top of Argyle Street and thirteen platforms were built.^[2] An additional eight-track bridge was built over the Clyde;^[2] and the original bridge was raised by 30 inches (0.75 metre).^[4] Bridge Street station was then closed.^[2] 1901 (MCMI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ... 1905 (MCMV) was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for 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.

The High Level station has 14 platforms covered by a large steel ridge/furrow roof. These platforms are numbered 1 - 11, 11a and 12 - 13. It has a spacious concourse containing a variety of shops, catering outlets, ticket offices and a travel centre. The station is fronted by the Central Hotel on Gordon Street, designed by Robert Rowand Anderson. The station building also houses a long line of shops and bars down the Union Street side. Although not obvious to the general public, there is also an extensive system of tunnels and underground caverns used for car parking and utility purposes built underneath the station.

The station's famous architectural features are the large glass-walled bridge that takes the station building over Argyle Street, nicknamed as the "Highlandman's Umbrella" by locals^[2] because it was used as a gathering place for visiting Highlanders;^[6] and the former ticket offices / platform and train destination information building. This was a large oval building, with the booking office on the ground floor and the train information display for passengers, on via large printed cloth destination boards placed behind large windows on the first floor by a team of two men. Underneath the "Umbrella" is a bustling array of shops and bars, as well as the "Arches" nightclub.
