Gutted last night watching the footage of Central, and though the images this morning are sad it's phenomenal to see the job the firefighters have done protecting people and buildings.
I'm sure my memories of the station are shared by so many who have lived/worked in Glasgow - running up the long slope, waiting under the clock, gazing down the river from the train - fingers crossed, it seems like they have saved all this.
Heart goes out to everyone affected.
