sbcmfc Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've heard that one on traffic reports, but didn't know where it was. I've rarely had more than 4 or 5 cars in front of me at the Dunblane one barring an accident. Seem to get stuck at the Broxden regularly though, not sure why they don't just have a filter lane for going south that cuts out the roundabout.

ErsatzThistle Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 George Foulkes, oh sorry, Baron Foulkes of Cumnock is at it again I see. The bridge wasn't necessary, it's the nasty, horrible SNP at it again blah blah blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a critical bridge be a vanity project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I noticed one of the critics gave the example of the Severn Bridge being repaired but failed to mention that they had to build a second bridge there too.

Toepoke Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Massive queues again trying to get across it. I could understand on the opening day but how can the new bridge make normal traffic worse??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Right, I'm going to murrayfield tomorrow? Do I have to cross it, or can I use the old one? Is there going to be several hundred cars getting in my way, simply "to cross the new bridge?" Will I have to shout abuse at said people for annoying me? How do I get to murrayfield?

I'd guess because all the morons with nothing better to do are saying to their equally moronic wives/husbands "fancy going a drive over the new bridge?" Arses.
