Storage at Glasgow Central and getting between stations

That's the natural choice if you're travelling by train, though it does mean getting yourself and your bags between the two stations first. ScotRail runs a bus linking Buchanan Bus Station with Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations; it's free for valid rail ticket holders, SPT Zonecard holders or Scottish Government Concession Pass holders, while others pay £2.

Queen Street sits adjacent to George Square, the de facto centre of the city, so if your plans start there, the bus connection is worth knowing.
