There will be several days of disruption to ScotRail services to and from Glasgow Central, according to the rail operator's chief operating officer.

David Ross told BBC Scotland News that commuters will need to be patient in the aftermath of Sunday's blaze.

He said: "There won't be any services tomorrow, and disruption will continue for several days.

"Our advice to passengers is to look at the ScotRail website and the app and see exactly what is running, but we are also asking people to be very patient with our staff - we are doing the best we can in very difficult circumstances."

Ross said ScotRail would seek to get passengers as close as possible to their destination, but that there would not be any greater clarity on services until the fire service give Network Rail access to the station to assess the damage.

Scores of ScotRail services use both the low level and the high level platforms at the station.

Glasgow Central low level services are still running through the station, but not stopping there. Passengers are advised to go to Anderston or Argyle Street instead.

Wahid Sadiq and his brother Shahid owned the Subway sandwich shop which was one of the businesses destroyed on Sunday evening.

Wahid said his brother had gone to the site after the initial reports of a fire but had been advised to go home by firefighters because everything seemed to be under control.

“We were pretty shocked later when the fire escalated. It was pretty alarming,” he said.

He said the facade was all that was left of the shop.

One of his other shops, on Sauchiehall Street, was affected by the 2018 fire at the Glasgow School of Art.

It was six months before he was able to reopen that branch, and he expects the wait to be longer this time - but remains optimistic that the shop will open again.

Wahid said the branch was the first Subway in Scotland and had operated from the site for more than 25 years.

“Most people think it’s a big chain and doesn’t affect anybody, but it’s a franchised brand and most shops around the world are owned and run by small business owners like me," he added.

Alessandro Varese, who owns the renowned Blue Lagoon chip shop and neighbouring Sexy Coffee, said both were “completely destroyed” in the blaze.

He said another branch of Blue Lagoon on Argyle Street was closed due to smoke damage, while an office on the third floor of the Gordon Street building was also wrecked by the fire.

Alessandro said he wanted all the business owners in the block to “stick together” and rebuild.

“Initially we didn’t panic too much, because we thought it was contained," he said.

“It was a shock. It was an anxious wait this morning to see the total extent of the damage but as people will see, the building is almost completely destroyed and I suspect it will get flattened.”

He added: “The good thing was that nobody got hurt.

"It’s so important that we stick together, because it’s such a prominent spot in the city, that everybody comes together to rebuild and reopen so we can all try and get back to business.”

Elsewhere, the Caledonian Sleeper is beginning its journey to London Euston from Edinburgh Waverley instead of Glasgow Central.

Passengers with a valid ticket can travel for free on ScotRail services from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh at 21:15, 21:45 and 22:15.

The train will depart from Edinburgh at 23:40.

TransPennine Express will not operate routes from Glasgow Central to Manchester Airport and Liverpool Lime Street on Monday or Tuesday.

The operator has also warned delays and cancellations on its Edinburgh – Manchester Airport and Edinburgh – Newcastle routes due to train crews being displaced.

Avanti West Coast said the majority of its trains to and from Glasgow Central will start and end at Motherwell.

Passengers with a valid ticket on any Avanti West Coast services can travel free of charge to and from Motherwell from Argyle Street, where they can catch the connection to London.

No rail services are being operated to or from Glasgow Central.

Niall Murphy, the director of Glasgow City Heritage Trust, is among those looking at the wrecked building.

He told BBC Scotland News rebuilding the site was not impossible.

"It would be simple to replicate it as it is a simple, straightforward classical building," he said.

"On the other side of the road there was a major fire in 1988 but they managed to replicate it as it was. In theory it's possible, but it will come down to the expense."

He added there is likely to be a debate now about whether to retain what is left of the building or completely demolish it.

"At some point Building Control will have to make a decision on whether they want the surviving section to remain upright or not. Given how busy Union Street is, and how busy Gordon Street is, I suspect they might be cautious and will probably take it down."

He added that the fire was heartbreaking, as the building is "at the heart of what Glasgow is as a city".

"That view down Union Street is one of the great, iconic urban views in Scotland," said Murphy. "It's the closest Glasgow gets to Piccadilly Circus or Times Square."

There is a sombre mood among people gathering on Renfield Street to look down at the fire.

The two constant views expressed by onlookers are sadness at the loss of an iconic building, and relief that no lives were lost in the blaze.

Many of those watching let out a gasp when they first see the state of the now ruined building, before muttering that it's a shame or so sad.

Others have mournfully said it'll never be rebuilt, a glum outlook to match the weather's drizzle.

There is a real feeling that the city has lost a key part of itself with this disaster.

Shelter Scotland director Alison Watson says the charity is "heartbroken" by the devastating fire, but luckily everyone who was in their Union Street shop is safe.

"The shop was evacuated as soon as the alarm was raised, and our team are now being supported by colleagues," she said.

"Our hearts go out to all the businesses and community members that have been impacted.

"We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the emergency services whose calm and professional response ensured the safety of everyone present."

She said the shop had been completely destroyed shortly after the charity had just finished some upgrades on it.

Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander has described the destruction caused by the fire on Union Corner in Glasgow as a “loss for the city”.

He said: “My thoughts are with those who have lost their businesses and livelihoods but I'm also saddened at the significant loss of historical architecture.

"My thanks go to the emergency services who were quick to respond to the incident.

“Their bravery and dedication meant thankfully no one was injured and they worked tirelessly to bring the situation under control.”

Assistant chief officer of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Craig McGoldrick has been speaking on Radio 5 Live’s The Naga Show where he gave an update on the fire service response.

He said a number of fire appliances from the closest stations were initially sent to the scene but the response was “scaled up multiple times”.

“Since yesterday through to today, we’ve had more than 250 firefighters in total as part of the effort to make the area safe and deal with the fire," he told the programme.

McGoldrick added that a total of 18 fire appliances and specialist resources, including a high-volume pump, have been involved in tackling the blaze.

The pump, which can lift large volumes of water, drew supplies from the River Clyde to make sure Scottish Water provisions were not “overdrawn”.

The loss of historic buildings is keenly felt in Glasgow, according to a charity that helps conserve the city's built environment.

In a social media post following the fire, external, Glasgow City Heritage Trust says its team is "heartbroken" that "another historic building has been lost", but "extremely relieved" that no lives were lost and the railway station "appears to have escaped major damage".

"The loss of historic buildings is always felt deeply in Glasgow," the post reads.

"These places are part of the city’s story and identity, and their loss leaves a lasting mark on the streetscape."

The leader of Glasgow City Council has praised crews who battled the fire back before it was able to reach Central Station.

Susan Aitken said she was “upset” to see the scale of the damage on Union Street in the aftermath of the blaze on Monday.

But she described the efforts of emergency responders as “phenomenal”.

“I think they have saved Central Station and they have saved the central hotel,” she told BBC Scotland News.

“It came very close to Central Station. The firefighters created firewalls, firefighting from inside the building that was affected to make sure the buildings around it were protected."

She added: “A lot of people don’t realise that these old buildings, particularly at the top floor, they’re rabbit warrens, no floor is the same, so it was an enormous challenge for them.

“The city owes them a debt of thanks. It could have been so much worse.”

Ross Moran, route director at Network Rail Scotland, says Glasgow Central Station is likely to remain closed tomorrow following the fire on Union Street on Sunday.

He explains that while the fire is under control, emergency services are still on site and Network Rail continues to support their response.

The timescales for reopening will only be confirmed once safe access is gained and all necessary checks have been carried out.

He said part of the difficulty was the building's façade, which is still standing, but would need to be checked and "probably removed at some point".

"All services to and from Glasgow Central are currently suspended and passengers should continue to follow alternative travel arrangements," said Moran.

"It is absolutely devastating, everyone who loves Glasgow knows that this is a cathedral of the railway.

"We'll overcome this, we'll get beyond it, but it is a travesty."

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has just released a new statement on the fire near Glasgow Central Station.

A spokesperson said a preliminary multi-agency investigation into cause of the fire was underway.

However, they "cannot at this early stage speculate on what happened" and an investigation could be hampered due to the "significant damage".

SFRS said hundreds of firefighters had been "working tirelessly" since yesterday afternoon, and a scaled back response of eight fire appliances including three high-reach vehicles remain in attendance.

They are now working to cool off hotspots within the stonework and assist structural engineers in assessing the stability of the remaining building.

The spokesperson confirmed no members of the public or fire crew have been injured.

Here's another startling contrast of Union Corner before and after the fire.

The following roads in Glasgow city centre are closed:

• Renfield Street at West George Street

• St Vincent Street at West Nile Street

• West Nile Street southbound from Bath Street

• Broomielaw between Oswald Street and Jamaica Street

• Vehicles can go over King George V bridge and turn left onto Broomielaw

• Clyde Street westbound, turn right onto Glasgow Bridge and then back over King George V bridge

Preventing the "very intense fire" in the Union Corner building from spreading to a nearby hotel took a "huge effort" from fire crews, according a senior officer with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Assistant Chief Officer David Farries says an investigation is needed to determine what caused the spread of the fire, which he confirms started in a vape shop.

"We're not sure at this time, in terms of what the contents of the properties were at that point," he tells journalists. "Clearly, we were mobilised to an incident in what was a vape shop on the street.

"But we need to do full investigation with our multi-agency partners to understand the nature of the fire and understand why the fire spread the way that the fire did."

Courtney McKinnon has run a hairdressing business called Cece’s Salon from the collapsed building for the past four years.

She has been left devastated by the destruction on Sunday and does not know what the future will hold.

She told BBC Scotland News: “It’s really shocking, the amount of small businesses that are gone. Everybody there works so hard, it’s difficult for everyone there. Everything seems to be gone.”

Courtney heard about the blaze when a friend phoned her last night to say the building had gone on fire after what sounded like an explosion.

It came the day after she had celebrated the fourth year of her business.

“I thought I would have many more years there. I’d had friends and family over to celebrate. I’ve put everything into that space, so for all that to be gone is difficult – it’s how I make a life.”

She said there was still no information yet on when business owners could get back into the building.
