Feels like time travel
My car becomes
A Tardis.
Newport Transporter Bridge. Newport is South Wales' newest city, having been granted city status in 2002 for the Queen's Golden Jubilee. It is actually the third largest city in Wales after nearby Cardiff, and Swansea. The transporter bridge is it's most instantly recognisable structure, and is one of only two working transporter bridges in Britain. Cars drive and passengers walk onto a gondola which is suspended by cables from the main gantry crossing the river. the gondola then crosses the river, and passengers and cars disembark from the other time. It's a wonderful piece of Edwardiana, dating back to 1906. Bridges are one of many things that I love, and this is one of my favourites.
