On the journey north east from Glasgow to Dundee, pay attention to these local station secrets for a convenient trip to the central Lowlands.

Glasgow Queen Street: Getting to the Platform

• George Street: Nestled between George Street to the south and Cathedral Street Bridge to the north, Queen Street Station has two main entrances. The main way in is adjacent to George Square, using stairs (or a lift for step-free access).
• Two levels: Queen Street station is split across two levels. For trains to Dundee, you will typically depart from platform 5, situated on the higher level. Take the stairs from either end of the low-level platforms or use the lift.

Onboard trains from Glasgow Queen Street to Dundee

From Scotland’s most populous city to its fourth largest, the route between these urban centres is filled with rural beauty.

• Key Landmarks: Enjoy great views of Stirling and the iconic National Wallace Monument. Catch a glimpse of the Maggie Wall Witch Monument, the first monument erected in memory of a witch in Scotland, near Duncrub, and then you’ll get a prolonged view of the River Tay on your approach into Dundee.
• The View Alert: For the best views of the River Tay, choose a seat on the Right-Hand Side of the carriage (facing North).

Arriving at Dundee

A rejuvenated former industrial city in the eastern central Lowlands, Dundee Station sits on the north bank of the Firth of Tay.
