Public report posted for 4th march, with pictures.
On a separate note, I was intrigued to note two things today I was previously unaware of. Firstly, a permanent rope tow is being put in across the top of Sunnyside from the top of the chair to the Cluny lifts, it looks like all it needs is a rope in order to become operational. Did I miss that being mentioned here before?
Secondly the Carn Aosda tow is now running with a mix of T-bars and Buttons, not something I've seen before but a welcome change for me since I find T-bars painful to ride, especially in a pair. It's been years since I last saw this lift running on one of my visits, so it might have been like this for a while, but I'm intrigued to know if this was done to help lift users who don't like T-bars or if it's a way of limiting the strain on the drive mechanism which isn't as young as it used to be!
The rope tow has been there for a bit, did post something about it a couple of weeks ago in the public reports
The situation with Cárn Aosda is a weird one, don't exactly know what is going on but they also did it with Meall Odhar T-bar a few years back one example is Monday 8th Mar 2010- back then it loooked like all buttons
