Bollards!

Two months ago these ANTI-TERROR bollards appeared at the entrance to Glasgow's Buchanan Street Underground station following a security review.

The intention is to stop vehicles being driven into the station, a tactic adopted by the terrorists who attacked Glasgow Airport in 2007.

In fact a £271,000 contract to supply and install the crash bollards outside the entrances of all Subway stations in Glasgow was approved in October last year. Because its such a busy shopping area and the fact that it is pedestrianised the Buchanan Street ones will be the most prominent and high profile.

Does it make you feel safer?
