Glasgow Queen Street's regeneration work is one step closer to completion after the last glass panel was installed on its new front.
Engineers completed work to install the 310 glass panels to the station yesterday.
The frontage covers an area of 734m2 and stands 21 meters tall from the floor to the ceiling.
It marks another milestone in the £120m transformation of Scotland's third busiest station.
Engineers are continuing to lengthen platforms 4 and 5 to allow new eight-carriage electric trains to use them.

Network Rail project manager Joe Mulvenna said: “The redevelopment of Queen Street will deliver a new landmark building for the city and with the completion of the front glazing passengers can really begin to see just how much their station has been transformed.
“Our engineers are working hard around-the-clock to complete this project for Scotland’s Railway.”
Once complete in spring 2020, the redevelopment will revitalise the station, delivering a contemporary building with an expanded concourse almost double the size of the old station, with fully-accessible entrances on Dundas Street and George Square.
