Ok i know im a woos for not taking the bike just now but i thought id get on my soap box and let you all know..................
Well because of the strike today there were no toll collectors so i thought that hometime was gonna be a breeze!
wrong!
Have a guess what they done? ..... go on ........
The closed and coned off all the other tolls bar 2!
one for the road coming from edinburgh (queensferry road)
one for the slip road for echline and a8000
then to make matters worse they waited to let you know the traffic was merging not until you were very near them with small signs and the cones placed to merge until you were very near them causing a huge tail back from the slip road (2 lanes into one)----
Un-frikking believable! - obviously they didnt want to let the drivers see what the traffics like without tolls (eg. no tailbacks)
So it was window down in the cage and showed them a nice little birdy finger as i passed the blacked out windowed office! -
Did you know that they secretly trialled different schemes to get more dosh from drivers last year and didnt tell the scottish executive! (a mate works there)-
did anyone notice the cameras at the tolls that were used for counting how many people are in the cars? - i heard that it was about 75% accurate hahaha! - also they wired it up wrong when they tried it for the 2nd time and blew it up (supposedly 180k's worth of kit!)
