Big Fifer Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Expect crime to rocket as Fife wake up believing they just started a new game of Grand Theft Auto. Fantastic plan. We'd merely have to activate the flying cars cheat, problem solved. Edited December 4, 2015 by Big Fifer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd merely have to activate the flying cars cheat, problem solved. f**k that, Edinburgh traffic/parking would still be as hellish as ever. L1, L2, R1, R2, Up , Down, Left, Right, L1, L2, R1, R2, Up , Down, Left, Right. Everybody can just jetpack themselves over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juansebastianvernon Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Any word on what traffic is like round Stirling due to the closure -any impact? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I would have thought so, but the sheer volume of extra traffic will presumably create further problems. In fact will the Kincardine Bridge cope with extra strain? Better close it as a "precautionary" measure, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Any word on what traffic is like round Stirling due to the closure -any impact? Looks alright, but then again it's only nearly 3 o'clock. Give it an hour and all north/south traffic will be jammed solid from north of Dunblane to the M876 junction and beyond. Would guess the road round Sprinkerse to Banockburn to the M8/M9 Services roundabout will be a mare too. Not that I care as it will be a nice short trip home to be cozy in front of the fire with a beer in time to catch the end of pointless. Up ye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow-sheep Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The Tories seem to want to keep the bridge open or use magic to fix it by next week or something: Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone has described the closure of the Forth Road Bridge "a scandal". He added: "Although the repairs are necessary for the safety of the public, the fact that the decision has been taken to close it for so long, shows a complete lack of forward-thinking by Derek Mackay and the SNP government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is a bit of snow and ice to make the commute more of a challenge. Might get a reality show out of it.

They should make a Tartan Noir film that starts with a body lying horizontally on the middle of the bridge, 6 fingered hand and webbed foot on the north side, normal hand and foot on the south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be a pretty shite opposition party if you didn't try to make political capital out of this.Can't recall which of the parties were against the new bridge, but incidents like this make them look a bit shit. The Greens were on of the parties. Edited December 4, 2015 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orlandoblue Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Ludicrous to blame anyone for a defect in the bridge - these things happen. What we can criticise is the (apparent) lack of planning for such an eventuality to occur. Given the importance of the route you'd have thought there would be a contingency plan in place that just needs dusted down when this happens. Agreements with ferry operators, bespoke train and bus time tabling on trains, removal of some light controlled junctions etc. loads could be done automatically but doesn't seem to be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the case. Either way, there's going to be a lot of pissed off voters. Might as well make the most of it.
