Does Central Station...

... have lockers?

I've tried looking online but I can't find anywhere that tells me. And if so, how big are they?

Yeah it does, they have big ones and wee ones, i think the big ones would maybe fit an average suitcase (?), they also have the left luggage bit where you can put larger items in over near platform 1. The lockers are found near the middle platforms, round about 5,6 or 7, I can't remember.

Amazing. Any idea about price? It'd be easier for me to put something in overnight on the Monday... does it matter about overnight? Or if not putting it in early on Tuesday and picking it up later, I'm guessing you have access as long as the station is open?

I can't remember, the last time I used the lockers was about 5 years ago and it was just a few pounds. I'm not sure if you can keep stuff there overnight, I'd assume you can, I just used it for the day to pick up later and yeah you have access as long as it's open, I think it was just a wee code you put in to get your stuff back. I'm not sure about the left luggage, an ex of mine used it once for 2 cases and I think it cost about £10 or summit.

I thought most train stations got rid of 'em to prevent terrorists putting bombs into them for kebamo-action. They were certainly removed in Kilmarnock not long after 9/11.

Yeah that's why I was wondering. I'll give it a check tomorrow.

They have xray machines for left luggage at the big stations. Before they used to just root through them.

maybe, like I said it was years since I used it but a guy did have a look in my bag before letting me use the locker. I know over at the left luggage bit they put it through a scanner.

I hope they don't have x-ray machines. They'll find my bomb.

GCHQ has taken note of this post and taken appropriate action. Watch the news tomorrow.

Better than searching by hand and finding your dirty drawers.

Better than searching by hand and finding pictures of your face and having them vomit all over my suitcase.

No one else has found this ridiculous yet?

Not really, they removed the bins from most major train stations over a decade ago for exactly the same reason.
