The Master Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've seen in the past a train stopping for a few minutes, then driving forward a few yards and stopping again so that people can board carriages near the rear. Have I Got Local News for You thread for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Commuting is great. Especially going through Kincardine to get to Livingston for work. 3 weeks of that. Wonderful. Even get to see the Kelpie's most days. Folk laughing at Fife? http://www.buzzfeed.com/hilarywardle/wretched-fife-of-scum-and-villainy#.vsy7Pg51 Yeah it really is awful I suppose... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We've a few sailors on here - we could chip in and launch a P&B hovercraft service, make a killing and retire to our solid gold castles. The BHT 130 looks a belter and carries 130 people. http://www.griffonhoverwork.com/products-services/used-hovercraft.aspx Is this hovercraft still available? I think the one I suggested is the very one (see 1.20 in your vid - same number GH2142 on tail thingy) - in Southampton and available at short notice.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 There's a perfect business opportunity for a months worth of work for Turkish and Greek people smugglers who may be experiencing a slight downturn in work in their neck of the woods due to the onset of winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Apparently, Edinburgh City Council ditched the proposed Kirkcaldy to Portobello hovercraft service. A route between Kirkcaldy and Newhaven is still on the cards according to the link. http://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/local-headlines/cross-forth-hovercraft-talks-back-on-the-table-1-3642518 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Two years ago today, the bridge was open only to cars due to severe gales. These guys attempted to drive a van over the bridge anyway.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Is this hovercraft still available? Aye, they keep it in the same shed where all those spare train carriages are kept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Well that's made my mind up not to bother with Kilmarnock. A day of whisky and onanism beckons. Well, it always did but now it's at home and not in the car on the way to kilmarnock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What penalty/fine do you get for being a stupid c**t who can't read multiple signs telling you not to take your high sided vehicle onto the bridge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Report was sent to Procurator Fiscal. Then what happened? What penalty/fine do you get for being a stupid c**t who can't read multiple signs telling you not to take your high sided vehicle onto the bridge?Ambulances are fairly high sided, yet they are allowed on the bridge even now.Cannae be that unsafe. Might be siren/light related. Edited December 5, 2015 by Njord 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Don't think you're allowed across the bridge on a boat tbh. You will be when it falls into the Firth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 You were planning on drinking whisky and masturbating whilst driving to Kilmarnock? Yes, it's just less of faff than having to get a train to queen street and get a connection at central. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
