Brian Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 From the BCP website Poole Bridge will lift first regardless of the time of day. Bridge lifting After the first bridge lifts, the second bridge will open as soon as possible. The first bridge will open again, if required, for returning vessels. Until further notice, the lifting schedule of Poole Bridge and Twin Sails will be as per the schedule below. Poole Bridge 5:30am Poole Bridge 6:30am Poole Bridge 7:30am Poole Bridge 8:30am* Poole Bridge 9:30am Poole Bridge 10:30am Poole Bridge 11:30am Poole Bridge 12:30pm Poole Bridge 1:30pm* Poole Bridge 2:30pm Poole Bridge 3:30pm Poole Bridge 4:30pm Poole Bridge 5:30pm* Poole Bridge 6:30pm Poole Bridge 7:30pm Poole Bridge 8:30pm* Poole Bridge 9:30pm Poole Bridge 10:30pm Poole Bridge 11:30pm * Weekends and bank holidays only *Poole Bridge will lift first for all lifting cycles, Twin Sails opens immediately afterwards. boyscott, Jim and Greg 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hang on a minute, let me try and understand this:- Reading the above, if I was coming out of cobbs for the 07.30 bridges, Poole Old Town bridge will lift for incoming traffic at 07.30, then close and soon after the Twin Sales will lift. I then go into the basin and then the Twin Sales Bridge closes. Then soon after this Poole Old Town Bridge will Open to let me out...... Have I got this right????? Can anyone help me out here 😬 fisherman1055 and boyscott 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 You've got it right, It's the way it used to be from 13:30 onwards. It's to spare the Twin Sails the stress of 2 lifts. fisherman1055 and Greg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 What a shower of the brown stuff that bridge is!R Brian, Greg and 2006holmwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Thank you Brian. That makes sense. BCP has an over spend of about £40 million at the moment, so they can’t afford any more expenditure with the Twin Sales. Oh well, looks like they will be going bankrupt soon then with that useless piece of s**t. fisherman1055 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
