beyond our ken Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 the new queensferry crossing is only partly operational. With the old bridge closed for a month there is still a temporary road layout on the north side. Tailbacks of 5 miles have not been uncommon and that wont change until the old bridge re-opens and the permanent road layout is in force. Best to cross at Kincardine or better still get a bus from Glasgow Airport that stops right outside East End park (X24,26 or 27). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if there are many stops en route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if there are many stops en route? Buchanan St, cumbernauld, possibly forth Valley hospital and kincardine. You can get off at dunfermline bus station where there're several decent pubs and a 10 minute walk to the ground or you can stay on to the next stop at the ground Edited September 11, 2017 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Cheers for info about the bridge, but since I am heading to a miner club in Fauldhouse after the game I will be going over the bridge. My wife and I have had an invite to a book launch by Neil Findley MSP who had been helping my wife at parliament on a health matter for the last 3 years. Hopefully I will be in a good mood when we get there and if not, low prices at the bar should cheer me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwick Hunt Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Depends if the bus goes over the bridge, surely? I'd have thought that the Kincardine would be busier than usual if there is chaos at the new bridge.The bus can only use the same roads as the car you'd be driving in.????

There are two bridges at Kincardine train is also an option, or you can drive to stirling, perth, or freakin anywhere before heading to dunfermline. You should go via Warwic, there's a good kHunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
