  6. Really think the Met office is copping out, I always use their rainfall radar as the best short term forecast but at the moment Maps outageDue to unprecedented levels of demand on our website we have temporarily replaced some of the less visited pages and unfortunately are currently unable to provide our usual weather and observation maps. The one time you need it they drop the service! Jim

  15. The old Caledonian Station of Whifflet Upper, in Coatbridge. This was an interesting station as there were two "Whifflet Lower" platforms on the main line that passed under the furthest span of the bridge, the only access to those platforms was via the upper station - there is a pub quiz question - name a station that you could only access via another station!
