You'll have to wait a minute, bridge lift is sched 16:15

 

[Snowy]

times like this we wish there were webcams on both bridges 

[Jovril]

It seems a long 5 mins waiting for the bridge

 

[grendel]

I do hope Robin was waiting in the right place.

[neilp1962]

I bet the buggers have turned the tracker off

[Paul]

Sitting here watching the AIS for any hint of movement away from the quay has me in mind of "The Battle of the River Plate" ..... is she moving ....... yes, shes moving,

I’m starting to think that 

[Meantime]

Its still reporting position so waiting for the bridge I presume.

[Snowy]

Either the tracker has been switched off possibly accidentally or there is an issue as the latest the bridge could lift was 4.15 

[grendel]

probably the bridge guy on a go slow because they just turned up in time.

Robin just posted on facebook that Haven Bridge is not operational

[NonTecky]

Robin Just Posted on FB...... Haven Bridge is not operational! Oh what a disaster. More later.

[Islander]

This would not be a good time to run out of credit Robin

[Paul]

Bridge won't lift, you couldn't write the script ........

 

[lakesailor]

just seen Robin post on NBN facebook page that Havenbridge is not operational  ... more to follow

[LizG]

Google maps don't show any traffic queues at the bridge either!

[Snowy]

Ohh no, so near to the end

[vanessan]

We seemed to have picked up quite a few new posters with this thread. Welcome to the forum all of you, hope you will keep posting. What a trip, all credit to team Indy. Hope Robin manages to join them again now and complete the journey. Just read about the bridge - oh frapping halyards!!!

[donnygeoff]

you couldn't make it up.......

all the tension, nail biting, etc....

You make it just in time to be let down.

[grendel]

you couldnt make up some of the stuff they have been through - mines at sea, and now a non operational bridge that only went back in service a couple of days back.

[Snowy]

Good script for a film this !

all we are missing is a murder and an affair 

the murder could be the bridge operator 

affair........... anyone aboard willing to put their hand up 

[Islander]

I bet it's stuck because it's too cold!
