Business trip to Perth today. Normally a 45-50 minute drive, but with the big chill and my rear-wheel drive Panzer, it was the train for me. That meant a long walk and a taxi to Waverley Station and a mad rush for a delayed train. My compliments to the common sense of the Scotrail staff who let me onto the platform and train with no ticket and pay on the train.
The picture is of the Forth Road Bridge from the Forth Rail Bridge on the cold and darkening return journey. It may be complemented over the next few years by a cable-stayed bridge if the Scottish Government can raise the cash. When it was finished in 1964, its main span of 1000m was the fourth biggest in the world - it's now the 20th but still impressive.
Temperature still zero and falling.
