It's the same ride that broke down in 2011 leaving 9 people dangling in mid air for 8 hours.

You will know that it's man made Mersey
The mining viillage of Bothwellhaugh is at the bottom of it.

The Raith Interchange Mersey.

It's a nightmare and has been for months but it's not only peak times.
The ongoing upgrade could take years and the temporary layouts seems to change daily.

Went Edinburgh last weekend to see the premier of Disney's new Animated film, Finding Dory followed by another Escape The Room Challenge.

Getting through the Raith was the biggest challenge we faced.
It took 45 minutes to cover less than 3 miles !
