If it will improve the opening hours, then I'm in favour. It's nothing short of disgraceful that a travel information centre is only open for six days a week, or closes at 5pm just as visitors arrive after travelling all day and need to find their way around.
But mindful of SPT's past record on staffing issues, I'll believe it when I see it.

Sign, sign... maybe they should just put a big sign outside Glasgow's boundaries saying 'For sale: everything must go!'. It's quite clear that under the current local government administration everything in Glasgow is available for commercial exploitation: roundabouts, parks, museums, etc. are all available to anyone with the ready cash.
Why bother with long-term economic planning when you can make a fast buck selling the people's treasured assets to the preferred, sorry highest, bidder?

Sell it to a developer.
Thats usually the quickest way for a grade A listed building to be "burned down by mindless hooligans" thus allowing an easy route to planning stage for even more flats or commercial property!
Or maybe a cafe burning down, will be easier to explain before it is sold to a developer?

No doubt it'll be yet another Starbucks - the chain seem to open another branch every other week in the city centre

Think its on Lease.

I think you could be right, a lease seems more the thing. Why sell the crown jewels ? I presume they will reinvest the money down below for the benefit of the passengers.
A Listed buildings need alot of upkeep so why not let them be used where more people can see them..... I think it's a brave move .

It would be nice if SPT kept their staff up to date with what is happening and where they are all being shuffled off to....instead of keeping them in the dark....

I pray and hope it isn't one of the ever growing and multi- national chains, such as "Costa" and "Starbucks."
Combined, these two American companies are distroying the UK's own industry of coffee providers, and smaller, independant companies.
