Thanks for the info guys! I'll need to think about buying my tickets separately in future, not just buying a straight through return on the first train. Great information, very helpful.

Buy them on the XC train from the conductor. You'll need to buy any fares to and from Glasgow Central separately as they are operator-specific and don't combine with any connecting fare.

The problem being getting onto the platform and train minus a ticket as early morning 6-9am Scotrail can have Central manned with folk checking tickets before you get onto/off the platform. They may miss out XC platforms, if it is low down near a Virgin service plat 1 or 2 but as other local services use others it is luck-esp if like some services (Transpennine) and they go into 8 or 9.
