No - it's already been demolished in that picture. You can see that the
Caledonian University building has already been built, as has Scotrail
House. The diagonal white scorch mark next to Scotrail House is where
the station was. The dark building with the pitched roof to the immediate
South of the (George Moore) University building was part of the Buchanan
Street goods station.

And have a look at St Enoch's. Looks like all the tracks have been removed, ready for wanton destruction, er, redevelopment!!

But that little building has a mystery behind its door... since its partly built into the hill, there might still be some small access point to the tunnel.
I don't really want to go IN... but curiosity must be fed

they even build it otherwise?

The road actually dips passed that point and the exit for the queen street tunnel should be at a lower level. I really don't see how it could be a staircase DOWN. I'm thinking along the line of a hatch to the opposite ends of the door. I'm surprised the council have let that building get in such a state and havent repaired the roof before now.
