So a pier which currently has a railway and trains on it isn't strong
enough for a perspex tunnel? Absolute horse****, i'm afraid.


Don't be afraid. It's only your ignorance of structural engineering
that prevents you from understanding my post, and that's nothing to be
embarrassed about. ;-)


Also, the walk from the landing stage to the kerb at the Esplanade is
slightly over 400 metres - it is longer than the train journey because
the train cuts off a corner at the pier head. So those who think "it
isn't *that* far" are somewhat wide of the mark. As I already stated, a
shuttle service of some kind would definitely be needed.

Bicycle hire!


More horse****?

Perhaps reinstating the horse trams is not such a bad idea. ;-)
