    Just need to find a way to encourage the drunks to use it on their way back to town, I suggest a bar and a couple of take away's in the middle. It could become the Rialto bridge of the North.

    They've only installed the main gantry so far, the steps still have to be installed, along with the ramps for cyclist/disabled access, which are massive.

    <laugh> was a tad dramatic, wasn't it?

    I would've picked a bit of Talking Heads if it were my choice.

    Emma Hardy having concerns about the main works on Castle Street, apparently it needs to be signed off by the end of November, but with the election looming it could be shelved.

    How long before some Hungarian or Lithuanian lorry driver with a high truck smashes into it or some unbalanced person attempts to end it all?

    Yeah realised it was a bit bleak, but went under it today and railings are a bit low etc, maybe they will put some
    plaggy screens up to prevent leapers

    Peace and goodwill to all users of this latest infrastructure upgrade even if it is about 20 years too late.

    Now, about these pacer trains...

    Bit harsh not allowing lepers to use it, they have enough problems...oh hang on...as you were

    the new trains are on their way from Italy by the way. Went to the fleet launch at Hilton on Friday.
