united, which the fans have not seen for a while, under van nistelrooy. what was the mood? what were the fans saying? i think it was one of kind of optimism, because a change has been made, and i think most fans accepted that it was time for erik ten hag to go, with the club 14th in the premier league. some fans i spoke to said they actually wish that van nistelrooy, clearly a club legend, he scored 150 goals for manchester united, they wish that he was remaining in manchester united, they wish that he was remaining— was remaining in charge, and getting the 'ob was remaining in charge, and getting the job full-time. _ was remaining in charge, and getting the job full-time. but _ was remaining in charge, and getting the job full-time. but manchester . the job full—time. but manchester united have clearly gone down another route. ruben amorim is a highly rated coach. there was a lot of premier league interest in him in the summerfrom of premier league interest in him in the summer from liverpool and west ham. that's the route manchester, and i think most fansjust ham. that's the route manchester, and i think most fans just hope that this appointment unlike the others, turns out to be a success. —— that's the route manchester united have

structure on this line, the west highland line, loved by many. it's very well known as the harry potter bridge as well, as i'm sure you will know. we didn't want to take that away. we have over 600,000 visitors appear every year, year—on—year, and i think that is increasing this year. for those doing the work, there are many challenges. the weather, working at height, while keeping the public safe, and perhaps you would not think of. we have had a lot of midges, obviously! that was hard for the boys up there. with the nets, you sweat a lot. it is difficult conditions. we have had a lot of tourists, as you can imagine. we try tourists, as you can imagine. we try to do a good job, and just get everything right. the weather, particularly this summer_ the weather, particularly this summer that we have had, the weather, particularly this summerthat we have had, didn't quite _ summerthat we have had, didn't quite come — summerthat we have had, didn't quite come to fruition as we had expected! — quite come to fruition as we had expected! it has been particularly wet in _ expected! it has been particularly wet in the — expected! it has been particularly wet in the highlands of scotland this yeah — this year. t- this year. i will take you straight to this year. — i will take you straight to where the prime minister, keir starmer is speaking live. let's listen in.
