    @MrPDaniel The Spey Bay crossing is still closed & likely to be closed for years. The contract for clearing the fallen spans has still not been awarded, let alone any contract for reinstatement. We got as close as we dared.

    View looking along old iron rail bridge over river, tracks removed, bridge members twisted & fallen.

    @geomannie Aw that's a shame. I've walked over the bridge a few times, and it was feeling spicier as the years passed! Such a pity we can't afford to maintain infrastructure like this. I guess you have to cross the river on the A96 at Fochabers now.

    @MrPDaniel Just so. The diversion puts about 4 miles onto the EV1 route so while the bridge being out is a pile of poo, the extra distance isn't too far.
