Great to hear all's good smile

I used to go to university in Roehampton, it's not exactly the best connected area of London transport wise! But you can get the 72 from Hammersmith to the uni and then the NTC is directly behind. Isn't the bridge only closed in the nights?

 I'm pretty sure it's still shut to all cars/buses etc

It's reopened for pedestrians and cyclists

 Oh wow! I graduated all the way back in 2015, a majority of my time at uni the bridge would be closed at night for works. Coming back from a night out in central would sometimes take 2 hours.... Crazy that they are still working on it.

 WARNING - look away anyone who's not in the slightest bit interested about Hammersmith Bridge biggrin

Yeah, it's been a real mess.

It was suddenly closed completely in 2019, when they found cracks in the supports/pedestals

Was considered seriously dangerous 

It was re-opened for pedestrians/cyclists in 2021 sometime but has been shut for FOUR years for motor traffic. Absolute nightmare. And, of course, there's major political wranglings as to who's going to pay for it as the last thing I saw was it would cost about £140 million (!) 

No idea where they are in the process but not very far, I believe !

Um - Hammers ith Bridge is north of Barnes station. But Priory Road isn't a bus route - there are no bus stops near the NTC.

Beth couldn't break through Alice's defence and made too many errors.
Katy has just taken the first set against Kylie, but I didn't see it (lunch!)

Katy was looking really good in the second set, but had trouble serving it out.
Isabelle on that court now, with Hep on the next one.
