The local route over the Silver Jubilee Bridge allows people from the South end of Widnes for example to cycle or walk across to Runcorn station in order to pick up the West Coast Mainline.

So why was that bloke cycling over the new bridge last Saturday? Perhaps, as a contributor to the cost he feels all users could have been accommodated. I don't know the area.
