Forth Rail Bridge

[Dr_O]

Noticed on the BBC site that the scaffolding will finally be removed 9th Dec 2011. See here

Assume it might take a bit longer to take it all down but at least we'll soon be able to take pictures of the rail bridge again without half of it being covered in scaffolding and white sheets.

The paint will be in great nick as well so there should be no excuses for not getting a good shot

It should be in good nick for the next few years id hope.

You'd like to think £130M gets you a few years- I just hope they've not missed a bit

I thought the point of painting the fourth bridge was that it was a job for life? Won't they be starting again soon?

That's the point of the BBC article
They're using a longer lasting paint so there'll be a break before they start painting it again.

Love this 'news' feature
We’re not sure about the Forth Bridge colour, say Scottish women

Happy to see the scaffold go though...
