One for the railway heads

[yoker brian]

just noticed that Network Rail have removed the heavy cast iron Caledonian Railway gates from the Gordon Street entrance to Central Station & replaced them with galvanised palisade security gates.

Edit:

Panic over, I've checked with a Network Rail contact at Central Station, who tells me that the gates are being restored in their original "glorious caley" colours and should be re-installed in around 5 weeks.

I passed through Central Station this morning and delighted to report that the cast iron Caledonian Railway gates have been re-hung after recent refurbishment.

Looking good there Brian, I wish we could look after all our heritage as good as that.
