    Changing Places Toilet

    I stopped by to use the toilet. I used the changing places/accessible toilet. Sadly it there were a few issues. Firstly, and this is can happen in loads of accessible toilets, the handle to flush the toilet is high up which I couldn't reach, it is also on the far side so you have the bowl in the way. Secondly, theres a height adjustable sink, with the remote to move it hung up high on the mirror. Means its a waste of time for a lot of disabled people. Added a couple of images.

    The beating heart of Glasgow

    I visited Glasgow Central in June 2024 to spend time with the Passenger Assistance team. I had a peek behind the curtain and put together a sneaky wee review of this 15-platform station (17 if you count the two low-level platforms). Before the advent of mobile phones, this was a meeting place for friends, families and that boy or girl you fancied. There's many a love story that started "Below the Big Clock". Taking the escalator down from the upper level takes you out to the bridge over Argyle Street, known locally as the Heilanman's (Highland man's) Umbrella, so-named as during the second phase of the Highland Clearances, this would be the first shelter provided to Highlanders seeking work in the city. First opened in 1879, one word sums up this station. History
