And the quickest way for me to get to Perth is via the M/A9, so if going to Dundee the quickest way for me is M/A9 past Stirling, not the FRB.
Scotland- Forth Road Bridge closed until New Year!

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Whatsup has the paint fell off ?
Probably the weight of all those layers of paint has cracked the bridge. Hope it gets fixed as it' an iconic sight to see

It's the road bridge that's closed, no paint on that one. The proper Forth Bridge is still open.
And they don't paint that? Every day a school day

Forth [Rail] Bridge........... Opened 1890 still going strong.
Forth Road Bridge.....Opened 1960's falling to bits.
The excuse being that it is taking ten times the traffic it was designed for.

Are you saying that it's not taking 10 times the traffic?
You are also comparing two totally different engineering designs that have totally different stress characteristics. And the rail bridge is only going strong because of the maintenance programme that is undertaken on it. Far more than is afforded the road bridge despite the differences in traffic.

Can anyone explain why delays were being reported on trains between Newcastle and Dundee due to the closure of the Forth ROAD Bridge?

Probably due to overcrowding issues on services that are running causing delays. My brother in law travels Haymarket to Dalgety Bay and he said the 1715 service was dangerously overcrowded and spent approx 10 mins at South Gyle alone letting people off and on.
The importance of the road bridge as the main arterial route South in to Lothian should not be underestimated and also the reach of the effects.

The construction of the Forth Bridge was started in 1882, three years after the Tay Bridge disaster, and was grossly over engineered because of this.
That's all those pesky migrants we keep sending you :smirk:
