Are there plans afoot to start using the rail connection from Russell transport site near Cardonald? I noticed extensive tree clearance had been taking place when passing the branch line near Cardonald station this week on my way to work. Stan

I saw a solar and a lunar eclipse. I vividly remember the comet in the late 90s. It was very impressive and visible in the sky for quite a while. I also saw a waterspout off the coast of Kardamena on the island of Kos. It was quite a sight but unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me...
