Regulation 3(1) of the Fire Precautions (Sub-Surface Railway Stations) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1401) (as amended) states that the regulations are applicable to “any premises used as a railway station to which members of the public have access (whether on payment or otherwise) and in which any railway platform is an enclosed underground platform”.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue are the only authority who report having premises within their area to which the Regulations apply. These are the 15 stations on the Glasgow subway system along with the following main line stations:
Glasgow Central station
Glasgow Queen Street station
Anderston station, Glasgow
Charing Cross station, Glasgow
Argyle Street station, Glasgow.
