they've_been_suckered Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Anyone else doing any of the events on Sunday? Didn't realise the finishing point had changed to Ingleston. Last year trying to get a train was a nightmare. The Royal highland centre is good for me as it makes my journey back to Falkirk a little shorter. Hopefully the mutants in Avonbridge stay away with their tacks this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question. Suppose it's not like a pro race where the entire group pass quickly... Would be a sustained drip feeding of folk all day.

phart Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 it goes through Linlithgow. Some local charity events (Macmillan) were cancelled as no one can get in to the events, due to the road closures. Others are having to park their cars quite a bit away so they can actually get to work on the Sunday. Road closures are starting at 5:30am in some areas. Quite a lot of folk moaning, then folk moaning about the people moaning. Local community folk saying no liaison by organisers this year, as Linlithgow Folk Festival is on, but no convenient way to get into town from 6am to 3pm. also the route changed. Doesn't affect me though. Some folk are struggling to get to work unless they park their car a mile away the night before. Basically some folk are raging, and others are raging at folk being raging. I'll probably sleep through it as will have been up all night watching MMA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get out of my street and pretty much anywhere I want to go, although Baillieston Cross will effectively be shut from 5.30am till 11am but I can't see us wanting to go anywhere before 11am on a Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
