Don't know what I'm missing but why not leave both bridges open?

Probably scared that it might break down again and not close!!

[Smoggy]

If they leave reedham open the operators can't get off or back on...

Yarmouth to Norwich line does not cross Reedham Bridge.

If you read the notice it is stated that the Somerleyton Bridge will be left open during the closure period.

I love the English language!

If I remember correctly after some pressure arrangements were made last year to get the Signaller away whilst leaving the bridge open there is a farm crossing 200m back along the track but a long way round to get he or she back to their car if the ferry is closed then the same performance very early on re- opening day.

No problem at Somerleyton as the access point is the station

Yarmouth does have its good points - the Red Herring, the Barking Smack and the Mariners 

Mind you you'd need to change at Brundall from your gaff JM

The route via the Berney Arms is very scenic.
