I have launched a survey to seek people’s opinions on whether there should be a new hovercraft crossing between Edinburgh and Fife.

I was prompted to seek public opinion following the full closure of the Forth Road Bridge on the morning of January 11th 2017. I have previously Tweeted my support for a hovercraft crossing between Edinburgh and Fife. On a separate note, there is also a campaign in support of the idea at http://www.forthhovercraft.co.uk

I am very sympathetic with the idea of a hovercraft crossing between Edinburgh and Fife. I think the benefits are overwhelming and it will provide an alternative means of transport between our capital city and the Kingdom.

The closure of the Forth Road Bridge this Wednesday morning made me develop this survey. I am inviting anyone who travels over the Forth to complete it.

What I am particularly looking out for is on where public opinion stands with regard to the idea of a permanent hovercraft between Edinburgh and Fife. My own opinion is my own opinion, but I want to know what other people’s honest opinions on this idea are.”

The survey is available here.
