Emergency vehicles would have the same issue no matter what time of day the Bridge lifts

Anyroadup I have been on to the bridge control and they now hope to open Haven Bridge at 1015 fingers crossed. 

AIS will be enabled just before

Oh and BTW I’m not onboard but in Donny at work

I can understand why they cant lift the bridges in rush hour, what if you gridlock Yarmouth and then an emergency vehicle cant get through etc, lives could be at stake. So frustrating for Robin though but hopefully they will be through soon.

I can understand and totally agree. 

But, why did they let Indy book the lift at that time, when they knew they would not open it.

Come on Robin, AIS please.....

Cheers Griff.

We really have been spoilt with all the videos, photos and write-ups. Thank you to all those who have kept forum members up to date with events, it has made it all the more interesting for the rest of us. I’m glad they are nearly there, I was beginning to feel a bit queasy with the swell of the past couple of days!

No your not your on the forum

Well after all that water Neptune chucked at you, working in a shower room should be really appropriate.

But still as much part of Team Indy as you have been from the start

Yes that is out of order, I agree.

Exactly what I thought and said yesterday!

hmmm strange there are no bookings for the Haven Bridge to be raised today according to bridge control?

[stumpy]

A mate lives on Cobholm (turn right at the Two Bears) , he says if anything big and slow goes through it can take up to half an hour to clear the gridlock.

I would imagine Indy is still under yesterday’s bookings

Great video

Thanks to Lord Paul & to Peter for sharing the video

Don't thank me! It's thanks to Quo Vadis who got chatting to Paul and obviously Paul who did the hard work.

Thanks to all involved in getting the video online for us all to see in that case.

I suspect somewhere in the depths of this thread, my question has been answered but does Indy need both bridges to open at low tide?

[LizG]

north side quay side queues building

[grendel]

I am guessing, but with an air draft exceeding 20 foot, I guess the answer is yes

[BuffaloBill]

AIS now switched on and now underway!

[donnygeoff]

Who are the lucky crew, do we know.

[Snowy]

I think NBN members

[Selsie]

I take it 'The Rascal' is Skippering on her last leg ?

[BroadAmbition]

Letting go lines now. Apparently Bridge is lifting for pilot boat so Indy can go through as well

OK thanks, I will try to narrow it down.

Do we know which NBN members are the crew.

[Hockham Admiral]

That was the plan, Selsie.
