Clark Contracts has been appointed to deliver phase one of a refurbishment project at Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow.

The £580,000 works will include decluttering the main concourse to improve passenger flow and the look and feel of the bus station. Further works will include the removal of trees, and relocating left luggage, security scanner and seating within the concourse. New public toilets will also be added.

The contract for the works was awarded by SPT Partnership.


SPT chair Councillor Dr Martin Bartos said: "Although there was some office refurbishment in the bus station three years ago, the main station concourse hasn't been seriously spruced up for a long time. I'm very pleased to say SPT is going to be investing over half a million pounds next year in the first phase of refreshing it for the public.

"As well as passengers using the bus station, a significant number of pedestrians walk through it between the city centre and Glasgow Caledonian University. By improving the concourse, we will be able to help the flow of people which will make the station more pleasant for everyone."

Gerry Cummins, Director of Clark Contracts, added: "It is fantastic to be working with SPT again to deliver this vital refurbishment. We look forward to delivering the project to improve the facilities available at Buchanan Bus Station."
