There is already a mailing list for this. It's posting address is
sightings@omni.com.au - there are more instructions regarding
subscribing to this list, etc, on Railpage. http://www.railpage.org.au
I agree, though, this was a good service and thanks David for providing
this service. Hopefully something can be seen from this and the STN's
allowed to be put online again.
Mick.
