Hmm, I don't think it's a good idea to describe the proposed new bridge as the "third" [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Forth_Road_Bridge&curid=144607&diff=38779483&oldid=38489698], as things are a bit ambiguous. The trouble is that there's also a road bridge at Kincardine, ''and'' they're in the process of building a new road bridge beside ''it'' right now. So saying "a new forth road bridge" or "third forth bridge" can get one muddled. I'd suggest either "second road bridge at Queensferry" or "third bridge at Queensferry". -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter|Talk]] 17:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC) |

Third
Hmm, I don't think it's a good idea to describe the proposed new bridge as the "third" [1], as things are a bit ambiguous. The trouble is that there's also a road bridge at Kincardine, and they're in the process of building a new road bridge beside it right now. So saying "a new forth road bridge" or "third forth bridge" can get one muddled. I'd suggest either "second road bridge at Queensferry" or "third bridge at Queensferry". -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I'd disagree - I think people in the Lothians, Fife and Central pretty well associate "Forth Bridge"(s) with the ones at QF, and "Kincardine Bridges"(s) for the upstream ones. It'll confuse the tourists though - "third fourth bridge" ;) /wangi 21:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- But what I do think is confusing is saying "Second Forth Road Bridge" in the title, and then "third bridge" in the text - that needs to be consistent. Everyone else (i.e. the press) are just calling it the "new Forth Road Bridge"... /wangi 21:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
