Fantastic job on capturing and explaining the Transporter Bridge. If that bridge could talk I imagine it would have many stories and secrets. Remarkable picture Brian. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

Interesting structure, I too have never seen such a bridge as this, it would be cool to see it in action, hauling some freight across or whatever...

Nice video. Well done.

Cheers Northwood Mediaworks! Thank you for your kind words and interest shown.

Here's one I filmed in 2018 with my trusty Spark... The Gondola carries people/bikes and small motor vehicles. The other main bridge, over the River Tees, is featured at the end. If you stick with it you get to see the Transporter in the distance, again. This bridge, called the Newport Bridge, rises vertically to allow tall ships to pass under it.
(sorry for the music level in the 2018 video)

Wow, what a feat of engineering that is. Though it would be a little unsettling to my stomach on a windier day! Thanks for sharing that one too!
