If you have never been to Glasgow Central before, when you get off the inbound train head for platform 13-ish and you will find the escalator going down which leads to the low level trains.
Oh right thanks, is it an underground-like train then?
Just booked the tickets, £67.30 return, very pleased with that price.

They kinda begin underground but come out eventually as opposed to the the actual Underground rail. Now that's an experience you should take if you have some spare time 
. You can't get lost as its just 2 big ovals so just stay on it for a loop

Weegees are very friendly so don't worry about asking anyone but it is quite simple.

Partick is just a line with a platform on each side so not really confusing.
Glasgow Central is not confusing either. All the tracks run parallel to each other and you will, likely, enter it on a lower numbered platform. All you need to do is walk across the station with all the tracks on your left as they increase in number.
IIRC, platform 13 is just past the stairs you need but if you head for this platform you will reach a roadway for cars (single lane leads to parking) and the stairs are just before you cross the road. There will be signs anyway but its always handy to know which direction to go in
Here's a quick map made by my l33t Paint Skillz
Tracks 1 and 13 are numbered with 2-12 in between as shown (wee lines)
Blue is the roadway for cars access to parking
Red Box is a kind of large kiosk selling magazines etc, steps are behind this
Green is the steps you are looking for

Lol at the map. You do realise there's probably an entire station layout available in a PDF somewhere? 
It's regular trains except the platforms sit underground because the lines run horizontally compared to the rest. The platforms are tucked away in the corner but they're really not hard to miss. Ask the armed transport police where you're going

Not from Central to Queen St you didn't otherwise that's very stupid. Argyle Street - Buchanan Street would be the only way to do it. And the walk to Argyle Street would take as long as walking to Queen Street.

The last platform is now 15 I think. 12 and 13 start halfway up the station. They were supposed to be the platforms for the airport link iirc.
