Carnegie sees that the Big Cheeses at the Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA) haven't been able to come up with a buyer for their £5 million toll booths which were removed after sixteen months when tolls were abolished on the Forth Road Bridge.
"BRIDGE bosses are yet to receive a single offer for tollbooths erected at the Forth Road, at a cost of £5 million, less than two years ago. The Forth Estuary Transport Authority (Feta) has admitted it is yet to find a buyer despite scouring Europe in a bid to find one. The hi-tech system, which proved to be hugely unpopular with motorists and businesses, was finally scrapped on February 11. The seven stainless steel tollbooths, sensors and a sophisticated server were in use for just 16 months from September 2006."
Not even Superman is interested. But should they put them aside in expectation of using them on the new Bridge when it is built in several years?
