Title: Russia opens rail link to Crimean
Post by: infoman on December 24, 2019, 05:04:42
The Kerch straight bridge in East Crimean is 19kms long,the clearance is 35m which is a little less than the Second second crossing.

Its Toll free, construction took approx four years and its a road and rail bridge.

Why can't we get the River Severn barrage started?

Because we don't have the same national military purpose?

………….I suspect there is less debate on the Russian railways about Sundays being part of the "working week"  :D

There's only one response to this act of aggression - send an army of television travel personalities over to ride on it!

Watch out  Putin, you'll soon be inundated by Portillos (and their blazers) Tarrants and Palins!

Except that George Bradshaw (probably better known in Russia as Georg Georgovich) wasn't smitten with "the dreary plains of Russia".
