Train passengers are facing major disruption after a fire broke out near Glasgow Central station.
Dozens of trains were canceled Sunday night after a fire at a vape shop on Union Street.
National Rail said the station would remain closed until further notice as crews continued to battle the fire five hours after it started.
No trains will run to or from the high-level platforms at Scotland’s busiest station, and those passing through the low-level platforms will not call at Glasgow Central.
Network Rail said the station will remain closed on Monday morning and National Rail expects disruption to continue until the end of the day on Monday.
First Minister John Swinney said on social media: “I am deeply concerned about the fire near Glasgow Central Station this evening and very grateful to all the emergency services who are responding.
“Please continue to follow travel instructions, avoid the area and stay safe.”
Paul Sweeney, Labor MP for Glasgow, said the building had partially collapsed.
In a social media post, he said the building dates back to 1851.
Mr Sweeney said: “Sadly the building has partially collapsed. I hope the fire can be contained. The corner of the Forsyth building, as well as the Caledonian Chambers and the Central Hotel, do not appear to be affected.
“It is a blow to Union Street with the prospect of restoration of the Egyptian Halls.”
In a statement at 8.30pm, a Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Firefighters continue to work to extinguish a large fire at a building in Union Street, Glasgow.
“At its peak, 15 firefighting teams and specialized resources were mobilized to the area, including three high-range vehicles and a water rescue team.
“We were first alerted at 3:46 p.m. on Sunday, March 8 to reports of a fire affecting the ground floor of a four-story commercial building.
“No casualties have been reported and crews remain on scene.”
There is some acceptance of tickets, and Avanti West Coast passengers can use their tickets at no additional cost on LNER services between Edinburgh and London King’s Cross.
Meanwhile, operator TransPennine Express has said its services between Glasgow Central and Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Airport will not run on Monday and has urged passengers not to travel as there will be no replacement rail buses.
