superbigal Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The Tay Road Bridge has not been closed today, and it normally only needs someone to Fart. Scotrail are absolute pussies these days.

I get your point but don’t be surprised by someone getting hurt or seriously injured by doing something monumentally stupid during this storm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) All helicopters grounded from Aberdeen airport, which means after 10 (ten) weeks off work, it looks like I'll be getting another day or two off. Long may this storm continue. ETA... Looking out from the safety of my hotel room in Dyce, I can see that a small tree and a lamppost have fallen over. Can't be too bad though, as there are still some smokers huddled outside the main entrance getting their nicotine intake. ETA (II)... Just received confirmation that there will be no flying offshore from Aberdeen tomorrow, so that is another day off work for me. Long may storm Babet continue to wreak it's destruction.

Network rail's drainage works just didn't work as they ought to have and they didn't have adequately trained staff. Far more into negligence than incompetence on the part of Network rail. Lack of long term planning and budget cuts in part to blame but it really doesn't help when there is a constant reshuffle, look at the Secretary of State in charge during the crash, he is now the defence secretary having been in 3 other posts since being transport secretary in 2022. Mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we shut all regional roads whenever the weather matches up with a previous, fatal accident in the area? The Helen Lovejoy approach doesn't actually make sense when evaluating overall risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Seen this before", "should be gone tomorrow" Meanwhile, I thankfully took dibs on walking the dog earlier on before the wind picked up. I suspect my other half might be on the news later: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
