    How much would a small bridge cost?

    How much old ferry continued operations would have cost?
    My thoughts when I read it - these busses are 700k a pop without considering the running costs. Can they work in bad weather? how reliable are they?

    Surely s simple boat or ferry would be the best solution

    How much would it cost to pay regular users of this service to stay at home and instead post tulip on CUK?

    I bet that would be less than £700,000 - once they try it once they won't be able to stop.

    Looked a bit dodgy to me.. Admittedly there's as much below the waterline as above to stop it from tipping over if a breath of wind blew across it, it still looked a bit narrow to me.

    I'd make sure that I'd got some waterwings on before I paid me fare...
