That will be the one at Muasdale then Bonnie Lass?

Anyone got an update on the closure between Kennacraig and Tarbert?

I came up earlier, got here at 7ish and it was terrible at times - glad I was passed those two bits that were closed though. The part of the A82 between the Barloan Roundabout to Clydebank was particularly flooded. Yet, a mile or so on the ground at Knightswood was dry!!

The 5 pm bus had to go via Carradale - using a wee bus up to Ardrishaig, then transferring onto a proper one there. Not pleasant for the passenger I just collected in Glasgow ...
