This was a very controversial opening and his result of dismissing the ceremony ended up being fined 10 pounds for offensive behaviour and 2 pounds for the damage of the ribbon being dismissed. -
Extension of the Railway opened
The electric railway service was opened the day after the “coat hanger” bridge was declared – as there was an extension of the railway service within the city. This even resulted in no ferry trips for travellers to travel to from the north shore.
