Soemthing i discovered when looking on the web for something else today:

I had seen the train ferrys in Denmark for the services to Copenhagan (is
the railway section of the bridge complete yet?) when on holiday in the
early 90s.

I had often been confused when in material on the tay bridge disaster the
train was either reffered to as a Burntisland to Dundee Mail train or as an
Edinburgh to Dundee train.

What I didn't know was that as well as hes fatally flawed Tay Bridge he also
developed along with other sturdier bridges (which is what i was lookngi for
and found nothing) the Cassions used in contruction and Train Ferrys for
getting passengers from Edinburgh over the forth to Burntisland.

Didn't there used to be trains that instead of disgorging their
passengers at the docks actually drove (drove?) steamed on to sidings
on the decks of ships then steamed off Stena-like to continue their
journey across Europe?
