Great video of a great project! Very pleased for us at Designscape to have been involved with Farrans and Sweco team in the delivery of the this vital facility.
Great video. The people of Glasgow are itching to get this bridge open. It's been a long overdue link between the banks of the Clyde. The bridge was initailly timetabled to be open in Spring 2024. Do you have an updated opening date?
Amazing!!! I live near the Welland Canal, Niagara, Ontario, were we have lots of different bridges, including "Jack Knifes" but this one here takes the cake! Thanks for posting!!!
Splendid work. This station is likely to be as outstanding as the (second) Great Victoria Street Station is such a dim little thing. I hope that the opening of Grand Central Station will be a spur to the redevelopment of a couple of lines that merit being in service again.
Pit about the bomb which held up construction by 4 days, but hey, only 1 year late! (and they knew about the bomb before construction started) but they will not tell anybody this as it shows up incompetence
What was not said the problems that this bridge will cause to the tidal flow of this river ! A real problem for the broads especially when we have a wind holding a spring tide ! Bet the expert's never gave it a thought ! But then Great Yarmouth has a nasty habit of wasting millions of pounds on follies ! Biggest and best example got to be the outer harbour ! Promised the world now it just sits there filling up with sand and no Ferry can get in , and then there was two huge container crane's which cost an arm and a leg ! think they gave them away! High time Mr Plant was planted !
It brings Belfast's main rail station up to the same level as Heuston which is relatively recent years has an increase in its platform capacity from 5 to 8 mainline platforms and the addition of 2 light rail platforms for the LUAS tram service. It concourse was also hugely extended. Heuston is a bright, beautiful station with shops and places to eat. I've sometimes waited there for an hour or two, and never ever, ever felt it was a shithole. Before it was renovated, it was inadequate for the increasing level of rail passenger traffic, but not now!
Heuston is fine and Connolly is a big improvement to what it used to be like yrs ago. In terms of public transport the ROI is way ahead of the six counties.
The whole of the Norfolk Broads have been at record breaking flood levels since this has narrowed the river channel. You were warned not to impeed the river flow but decided you knew best.
I'm sorry to be a hater but all of this drama for a mere tramway is simply laughable! Edinburgh has had tramways built 100 years ago and u're telling me that building new lines, in 2023, represents "unprecedented challenges"?! (at 1:15 ) While China is over there building 30.000 km of high speed trains? And India building thousands of kilometers of elevated metros? What the fuck is wrong with the UK?!
What a great achievement in building the tram line to Newhaven - a beautiful and practical piece of engineering - the construction team should be really proud.
Same reason nike trainers are made in china! Cheaper. Nothing great about Yarmouth today. Full if immigrant s. They get treated better than people born here and most don't speak English its disgusting
What a crock of Sh*t . The most densely populated area is the south of the city the suburbs . The first route should have been south to the city centre . Yeh great, build new homes on brownfield and ignore the people who already live in the city . This whole waste of money is for tourists. Not the people who pay for it . I have yet to board a tram . Why would I need to ? Note the use of the plural word tram . Cause its only one line .
Yes all that cost and will pay the bill like the last time the people and yet the tram does not even go where most people live as someone sed its nothing but a airport shuttle bus at a great cost to the taxpayer and we have to laugh they say they had lots of changes no one's not saying that may be the case but how come in so many other countries in Asia and the middle east they get things done at break neck speed no red tap we do things in the UK and it takes a life time just like Heathrow airport we still have even sorted that mess out how many decades has it been again too much red tape at the same time China Turkey ect get on with things and look what they have.
blame NIMBYs obstructing housing and transit in every form & making up arbritary laws to slow them down or even stop them, consequences of young people not participating in local/municipal politics and ceding grounds to out of date delusional boomers also those countries are authoritarian without regards for safety and labour rights
The Leith walk corridor is the most densely populated area of Edinburgh and has the lowest car ownership. I was on and off them several times between St Andrew's Square and Newhaven on Saturday there, and I can assure you that they were full to capacity each time.
