Went on the tour yesterday. Only disappointment was the feeling that there are a lot more nooks and crannies that Paul knows about but Joe Public will never see... Updating what was posted earlier... Paul says that in the next month or so they will be putting in a section of track next to the platfo...
:evil: had a quick download and looked at Flickr using Safari. Not impressed. Sure, it makes the IBM (this one made in Greenock, y'know!) look like a Mac but the top section of the browser takes up way more space than some of the slim Firefox options.

Can't remember if the hall is seen in those pics and any sign of it's 'past' showing?
