“So, managing people has been one of the biggest risks to us. [There’ve] been two trains most of the summer months running here, two steam trains. Lots of Harry Potter fans, lots of whom [are] just here to see the trains.”

“對人流的管理對我們來說是最大的安全隱患之一。這裡有兩列火車在夏季月份中大部分的時間裡運行,這是兩列蒸汽火車。許多 ‘哈利·波特’ 的粉絲們專門到這裡看這兩列火車。”
Alistair Macleod, Bridge Worker
“We’ve had a lot of midges, obviously. That was hard for the boys up there, and with the nets you sweat a lot. It is difficult conditions. We’ve had a lot of tourists, as you can imagine, you know. [We] try to do a good job and just get everything right.”

“我們這有不少蚊虻出沒。這對於在高空工作的小夥子們來說非常難受,而且防蚊網讓人很容易出汗。這裡的條件確實有些艱苦。你可以想象,我們這裡有許多遊客。我們想把工作做好,把每件事都做好。”
The £3.4m-worth of repairs include improvements to the viaduct’s protection against water erosion and the stone ballast underneath.
這次修復工程將花費 340 萬英鎊,其中包括對高架鐵路橋的防水侵蝕性能以及鐵路道碴的改善。

“It’s an absolute bucket list job for me to work on a project of this scale in this area. It’s not often you’ll be able to put Glenfinnan Viaduct on your CV if at all in your career.”
勞拉·克雷格 英國鐵路網公司
“對我來說這份工作堪稱我的人生願望——在這片地區參與如此重大的項目。這可不是常有的事:能把格倫芬南高架鐵路橋寫進自己的簡歷裡、讓它成為自己職業生涯的一部分。”
