Another bridge!
In message , at 15:59:31 on Fri, 6 May
2016, D A Stocks remarked: For example, it's possible that the driver passed under the same bridge with a smaller container in one direction, and then swapped it for a taller container - or even a taller trailer/container combination - for the return journey. One of the Ely bridge bashes a couple of years ago was like that - a local tradesman (plumber I think) had been driving to and fro several times a day for years without incident, and then someone bought him a new van which was very slightly taller... Then there was this chap (not visible) driving into Ely who apparently got under the first half of the underpass by the level crossing, then chickened out at the second. The police and local Railtrack people (visible) helped him let his tyres down at which point he made it through the second half. I have no idea if they did him for obstruction, but as it was a PCSO I don't think they can ticket someone for that. http://www.perry.co.uk/images/ocado-ely.jpg -- Roland Perry |
