As it's an island platform the exit has to go down and under the track before going to one side & heading up.
I hope that doesn't spoil scotia's research

Yep, I have a book which comfirmes that a 'lack of space' and it's location near street level is the reason.

Does anyone know how many basements are in that building. I’m guessing 1( that’s in use) plus a further sub.
Does anyone know someone who work/works in top shop hmv virgin Lewis to shed some light.
I wonder if they'd ever consider opening glasgow cross station again or is it concidered too close to Argyle Street Station?stranger wrote:glasgow cross station was an island platform
the entrance was facing the old crazy house
you went down a wide straight staircase to the platform part of which
was under the open triangle which is now covered by the steel grates
the ornamental pillar was probably a roof support on the platform
i think central low level has them too
i may have a photo of gc station will try to find it
also i seem to remember an air shaft next to the station
coming up in the courtyard of the tron theatre anyone confirm this?
