The cost of replacing the collapsed section, plus repairs to the rest will be way too high, so maybe it'll happen by default. But it would be better with some intervention to speed it up.

.....by removing the eastward embankment, to let it spread out & meander eastwards over a much wider area, a lot of those issues could be resolved.

.....300m long on the on the eastern side, pushing the river somewhere it doesn't want to be, and in spate the volume of water in that single narrow channel causes huge issues. If we used this as an opportunity to allow it to return to where it actually wants to be,.....

This won't be a popular view, but, before the railway, old maps show that the Spey here was multi threaded, and largely further to the east. The railway forced it into a narrow, single, often raging channel further to the west under the Spey Viaduct, by building an embankment some 300m.....

Lots of questions to be asked about maintenance of the Spey Viaduct, but this shouldn't be forgotten. 2022 Labour returned 3 councillors in Moray with the promise in this image.
1st chance they got 2 voted against proposals for work, and Ben here left the meeting & didn't vote. The proposals fell.

"Emergency services on the scene" is a bit of plastic tape which was being ducked under by folk wanting a closer look when I was there earlier.

Pam didn't just maintain a friendship. In the 2017 council elections when Sean stood for re-election after the offences were publically known, Pam was his campaign manager.
Big questions for both her & the Labour party as to why he was a candidate at all.

Ours has moments he thinks he's Cato in the Pink Panther movies, lies in wait then leaps, or charges & leaps. Which is fine & kinda cute, but he's 8kg of Bengal muscle, almost 1m nose to tail, with claws the Grim Reaper could put to good use, and he can easily leap head high. He hits with momentum.😂

Simple. Because current Labour are, what we'd have considered until just a few short years ago, Tories.

As someone who works with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question what’s rendered as truth.

Keep an eye out for some follow ups in different mediums looking ahead

I recall being delighted when it opened, having previously sent off cash...cash ffs!...in an envelope to the US to get what must have been one of the first skateboards in the country. Somewhat amazingly it actually arrived, & I used it to death. I've still got it hung up in the garage.

It's mad how prices vary.
We did Warsaw to Berlin last week, roughly the same distance as London-Edinburgh. Just €29.99 each on Polish PKP IC, booked through bahn.de.
Clean, comfortable, reserved seats with a ton of space, a dining car, and on time.

FFS, talk about tone deaf.

Smoke from Dava drifting over Garmouth. Feels weirdly apocalyptic with the sun blocked out.
