alta-pete Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Good. [emoji1] It’s normally a 1/2hr journey. That’s the point. Us sevconians are (I think) allowed to eventually settle outside the city boundaries in our twilight years. But thanks for playing, etc...And I don’t like that Humza chap I’m afraid. He comes across as a bit arrogant and deflectiony. “It’s snowing, what are we to do?!” Err, maybe manage things a bit better?I doubt anybody could justify the M80 being shut for 6 hours this afternoon. What? That no-one could foresee that HGVs couldn’t might have a bit of trouble making it up that hilly bit outside Haggs?!? Did their own red weather warning catch them by surprise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sitting in our hotel room in Dunfermline. We were meant to be going to a show at the Alhambra theatre, which was cancelled. A few pubs are open, but most of the shops closed quite early. Even the wetherspoons closed early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 How should they have prepared for this? Hmm. A known sharp incline at a high point on the motorway. A wild idea - maybe grit it more regularly than the rest of the network? The original point I was making was that the roads around Stirling (higher altitude still) were all clear suggests that someone’s not managing the motorway network (Government led contract) as well as the Trunk roads ( Council led). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know the gritters network do you? Even if it was a mistake - how many tough inclines are there across the country? It only takes one to snarl up the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
