Forth Bridge repainting and seasonal maintenance

Longer-lasting paint allows a break in Forth Bridge maintenance, with repainting arranged around seasonal working conditions.

Notes

Improved paints allow a pause between rounds of work on the Forth Bridge. The interval is recalled as roughly six months, allowing a break before repainting starts again. A later comment places that pause in winter, with painting concentrated in summer. Weather and worker safety affect when the maintenance cycle can run.
