Queensferry Crossing
| The Queensferry Crossing Experience |
| The reason for this impromtu visit to Scotland is over; we walked the Queensferry Crossing around 9 a.m. On Sunday September 3rd and thouroughly enjoyed the experience. It was a very well organized event which went smoothly from start to finish. Lothian Buses fielded a fleet of their very newest buses and ferried the participants to and from the bridge. I’m guessing that this is why I saw several open top buses in town operating on scheduled routes – because the normal fleet had been commandeered for the bridge event! Police presence was noticeable but not intrusive; access to the bridge was protected by offset concrete barriers and rows of heavy earth moving equipment. This, presumably to prevent anyone from driving a vehicle into the crowd. A Police bicycle patrol rode in the support vehicle lane and golf carts cruised there also to pick up folks who needed a ride to complete the experience. All in all, superbly organized. It was indeed, as advertized, “a once in a lifetime experience”. |
