Ha Ha!!
Sorry for being such a retard!!!

I have two Yorkshire pals, both living in Bradford and both have recently bought brand new Woodrup steel tourers.
They know a good thing!!

Well, I've never heard of AIUI and googling, even suffixing "Engineering" produced nothing. Gifford and Partners produced design drawings on the replacement decks and all the enabling works at the abutments and Fairfield Mabey fabricated and installed the decks. The regulation access paths...

The bay may be treacherous, but there are regular guided walks right across the sands at low tide. There is even an official "Queens guide" as historically, the sands were a coaching route. On the North side of Barrow in Furness is the Duddon estuary with the backdrop of Black Combe and th...

Really! It begs the question, have you looked at the map? If you had, you would see that the other side of the estuary from Arnside is easily accessible either on foot, by car or cycling. The fact there is a station with hourly trains from Manchestere Airport anmd Barrow in Furness renders Arndise e...

Walking or cycling across the estuary may be a novelty to some, but the costs involved are enormous and the benefit only to those thus gratified. The existing railway has already got stations close to the crossing and with a bit of new construction, the facility of crossing from and alighting at eac...

Correct

I'm almost sure that Barmouth viaduct was built with the public walkway. A toll was levied up until a few years back and I remember paying a couple of shillings at the Barmouth end. People fished off the bridge path for Bass. At the west end of Arnside viaduct is a small hamlet without a pub, wherea...

Re-visiting the thread, I caught the train across from Arnside to Grange on Wednesday last, with my bike. Apart from wearing a mask (my buff, pulled up over my mouth), the journey was fine and I had a chat with the train guard over the current state of play. Seemingly, the regulations regarding carr...

I have scanned Sustrans website for any details of progress on any aspiratiions they may have to take over the disused Ingleton-Lowgill railway as a cycle way. I ended up e mailing them and I got a terse reply accompanied by a small scale schematic diagram that is totally devoid of detail. Sufficien...

Very true. A spread sheet is usually prepared with reference numbers, square area and details of finish, wearing course and base course thicknesses with the all important compaction procedure, weight, duration and number of passes. A map/plan of the patches is only sketched rather than measured as a...

It's amazing what these council wallahs actually do in their eight hours!!!

Just to add, there is no significance to the colour of markings. It just depends on the colour of the poaint in the survey stores!
Sometimes you will see stop taps, hydrants and covers marked up with blue and this shows up on aerial photos and drone footage.

Numbering of repair patches is standard throughout the UK. The marking last as long as it takes to get the work done in house or put out to tender. A view is taken on the traffic density expected and of course, most importantly the availability of funds. Towards the end of the financial year lots of...

I am in no way confused my friend. I spent my career as a Land and Engineering surveyor, often dealing with way leaves and easements. I have checked the Lancs County MARIO map and the route from the bend in the road at the beck side , north to the A 65 juction is shown as unadopted with NO PUBLIC RI...
