Documentary following the staff and passengers of Glasgow Central station. A train disruption causes travel chaos for football fans, and the concourse becomes a stage.

Documentary series following the people that work all hours to keep Scotland's busiest train station on track, delving into the buildings history with stories of the past. Central station has been at the heart of Glasgow for more than 140 years, running over 950 trains a day for 32 million passengers a year. Day and night for one long summer, this series follows the people who make the station work. Central station has long been Scotland's busiest - it is the Northern terminus of the West Coast Main Line from London and the starting point for travel to hundreds of stations in mainland Britain. Over the decades, the station has knitted itself into the lives of many people. For generations of Glasgow folk, particularly those that work here, Central station has become part of the family.

There is chaos on the concourse when the staff at Central station deal with a huge influx of football fans on match day and face disruption on the tracks. Tour guide Paul explores the historic relationship between the home of Scottish football Hampden Park and the station. Meanwhile, the concourse becomes a stage for performers and protestors alike and sees the arrival of an unlikely celebrity in the form of Instagram sensation Lucy the samoyed dog. Elsewhere in the station, hen parties and excited Proclaimers fans arrive en masse, entertaining us with their favourite tunes from the famous brothers.
