Queen Street Station Transport Statement 14 SENSITIVE Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 3 of 16 Introduction The North Hanover street podium development is an extension to the recently completed Queen Street Station transformation (EGIP) project. The North Hanover Street Transport Statement is an addendum which should be read in conjunction with Appendix A: Queen Street Station Transport Statement 2015. Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 4 of 16 1. Background 1.1. Context The North Hanover Street project site occupies former car park and station drop-off/pick-up site to the east of Glasgow Queen Street Station. The existing site boundaries are formed by the Millennium Hotel to the south, North Hanover Street to the east, Cathedral Street to the north, and to the west the main Queen Street Station Train Shed To the South of the site is George Square a key public space within Glasgow and to the North, Buchanan Galleries - Glasgow’s premier shopping centre. A significant immediate neighbour (East) is the MET Tower, a Category B listed landmark with protected views from across the city (formerly College of Building and Printing) The site is within the city centre, a short walk from Buchanan Street bus station, University of Strathclyde campus, City of Glasgow College and Glasgow Caledonian University. As outlined above the site has been previously used as a small carpark and taxi drop off for Queen Street Station, however these are all suspended and the site given over to the Main Contractor for EGIP Queen Street Station Redevelopment Project. SENSITIVE Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 5 of 16 1.2. Project Brief The project brief is focused on delivering three key client requirements: • Enhanced station facilities including retail, food and beverage outlets suitable for Glasgow Queen Street Station, as a key transport hub, and suitable for railway network growth through to 2049 for passengers, visitors and operational staff. • Enhanced connectivity including a new station entrance at Cathedral Street level and an enhanced station entrance at North Hanover Street. • Development deck at Cathedral Street level capable of supporting a mixed-use commercial development including 300,000sq. ft Grade A office development 1.3. Proposed Podium Development The vision is to create ‘a place to travel sustainably and inspire people to meet and shop with a smile’. Within this there are various key objectives for the integrated station which include the new North Hanover Street Development • Safe and functional station - operates efficiently and effectively as a major railway station meeting passenger growth demand without significant ongoing operational challenges and attracting customers to a more sustainable transport option. • A connected place - seamlessly integrates national/regional/local transport modes and optimises connectivity for all users including links to Glasgow Avenues and accessibility initiatives. • A distinctive gateway - celebrates travel, proudly announces arrival into Glasgow and travel throughout Scotland recognising the architecture and heritage both of the station and Glasgow City Centre. SENSITIVE Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 6 of 16 A “Glasgow” station - place-making creating public space that promotes people’s health and well-being whilst delivering social & economic benefits. The project is considered in two discrete elements; 1. The Podium (a space for operational space, retail, food and beverages etc.) 2. The Above Podium Development (a space for future commercial development) This document and the remit of the design team is limited to considering the podium only and not the above podium development. The Podium is to be an integrated part of the overall final station offering and will seamlessly connect the public concourses and the stations operations 1.4. Critical Success Factors Network Rail are working towards a vision for the wider station and a series of critical success factors (CSF’s) have been identified to make this vision tangible. • Create quality environment complementing the Queen Street Station redevelopment project - improving the station experience, retail and customer facilities. • Enhanced connectivity with the surrounding areas, enhancing sustainable intermodal connectivity. • Develop efficient functional space below a development deck - providing optimised operational facilities. • Integrate Queen Street Station High-Level Concourse, Queen Street Station Low-Level Platforms, Cathedral Street and North Hanover Street providing a seamlessly connected place. • Leverage economic development potential of the whole North Hanover Street car park site. SENSITIVE Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 7 of 16 1.5. Addendum Report Structure This report will cover any changes in terms of how the proposed podium design will integrate with both the main Queen Street Station and the existing transport network. The Queen Street Station Transport Statement provides information on the existing transport network up to November 2015 so only changes that have been made post November 2015 will be covered in this addendum. 2. Queen Street Station Operation Updates 2.8. Station Access The construction of the new podium to the East of the main station will remove the taxi rank which currently sits within the North Hanover Street site. Please see point 5.6 below for further information on taxis. 2.9. Accessibility The updated building standards which the proposed podium development will be designed in accordance with are: • Scottish Technical Standards (Non-Domestic) 2019 • NR Station Design Standards SENSITIVE Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 8 of 16 2.11. Station Facilities Alongside the new and improved Queen Street Station Facilities the North Hanover Street podium development will also deliver multiple retail and food and beverage outlets, which will greatly enhance the overall customer experience. From a health and wellbeing perspective the addition of an outside plaza space directly linked to the station will provide an area for the public to use when waiting on a train or meeting up with others as well as enhanced routes through the station towards North Hanover Street and Cathedral Street. Surrounding Transport Infrastructure SENSITIVE Contains sensitive information Atkins | GRIP 4 Transport Statement Page 9 of 16 3. Walking and Cycling 3.9. Proposed Development – Walking and Cycling Infrastructure The North Hanover Street podium development seeks to further enhance the accessibility of the station for all passengers. These improvements include: • Cycle hub spaces which can store 300 bikes. The split being 150 cycles at the North Hanover Street entrance, 150 cycles at the Plaza entrance. Additionally, there are 20 staff cycles within the TOC carpark. • A new and improved main entrance from halfway up North Hanover Street with the Avenues project proposing a pedestrian crossing located directly outside to reduce the risk of pedestrians being struck by vehicles and create a safe direct route into the station. • Two new entrances to the station, providing a direct, accessible connection from Cathedral Street and also North Hanover Street to help pedestrian movements in an around the station. • An internal direct route for passengers from Queen Street Station High level to North Hanover Street. • Improvements to rail passenger connectivity between the high and low-level stations on the East side of the

This works against delivering the integrated, sustainable and inclusive transport favoured by the Scottish Government (and Scottish Association for Public Transport). A “Transport for a Greater Glasgow” planning and delivery group bringing together the main bus, subway and rail organisations, and council planners, must be established if good progress is to be made. Otherwise Glasgow’s connectivity and economic competitiveness will be eclipsed by other city regions where effective transport planning and delivery organisations have been set up. Collective Architecture (PP13) Crossrail is a vital proposed development necessary for the future prosperity of a large area of Scotland to the South and West of Glasgow.

  • Glasgow 2014 Transport Strategic Plan
    Transport Strategic Plan Version 1 September 2010 Foreword The Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games will be one of the largest international multi-sporting events that Scotland has ever hosted. Approximately 6500 athletes and team officials from the 71 competing nations and territories of the Commonwealth as well as members of the Commonwealth Games Family, the media and spectators will all be welcomed to Glasgow and other select sites throughout Scotland for 11 exciting days of sport competition and celebration. A crucial element to any successful major games is transportation and the ability to seamlessly facilitate the connectivity between the selected sites for the various client groups attending. This document provides the initial information on the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games strategy for transport, including what we as the Organising Committee aim to achieve, who we are looking to involve to successfully deliver our obligations and how we approach managing our objectives. Our aim is for athletes, spectators and other visitors to come to Glasgow and Scotland and see the city and the nation at its best during these Games. With existing facilities having been upgraded, new venues built and significant infrastructure improvements all completed well in advance of the Games, we will aspire to have transport in and around the Games sites that is safe, secure, reliable and accessible. As we get closer to the Games we plan to publish two further updated editions of the Transport Strategic Plan. Future editions will include: changes incorporated during the various consultation processes; refined information on transport proposals; and emerging best practice following the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games, London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and other major games.

  • Transport and Technology
    Transport and Technology Collections 1 Introduction The Transport and Technology Collections reflect the leading role played by Glasgow and the West of Scotland in advances made in scientific enquiry and industrial production. The technology collections were first developed for the opening of the City Industrial Museum in 1870. This was intended to highlight the output of Glasgow’s industries and included samples and models from the important chemical, textile, locomotive and shipbuilding firms in the area. There were also examples of innovations in the making of optical and scientific instruments and communications technology. The museum displayed Glasgow’s civic pride in its scientific and industrial achievements and provided a prestigious front window for its products. It also played an important didactic role in teaching Glasgow’s young citizens about engineering and technology. Many of the collections were loaned and often replaced by newer more impressive exhibits. Even items formally acquired into this collection were regarded with the same spirit of renewal and were often discarded in favour of more representative examples of modern industry. Although much has been lost there is still much of great interest that has survived from the early days of the museum. This is partly as a result of industrial failure when loaned material from failed companies was retained and eventually assimilated into the core collections. Such a direct relationship between the city’s industries and the museum collections gives them an added degree of significance. This is particularly true of the outstanding ship and marine engineering models. The Clyde was at the forefront of revolutionary change in the shipbuilding industry so not only is the collection a truly representative sample of the Clyde’s output, it also represents an important period of ship design and building that is unsurpassed anywhere in the world.
