Latest anticipated opening: 12th December. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/019817a5-1267-7775-83bb-547ca398a9d1 Timeline so far: 17/7 Leak occurs. 8/9 Work commences. 53 days delay. 12/12 Estimated completion. 128 days total. Seems to me that BW have forgotten how to make repairs in a timely manner. Four months to repair a culvert is unacceptable. Meantime, I read that trapped boaters are getting snotty overstay notices from the BW computer. It is reasonable to assume that culvert repair will be an on-going problem as all the culverts on the system were built at very roughly the same time. Two or three failures per year is to be expected it would seem. -- Regards, Martin Nicholas. E-mail: reply-202510@mgn.org.uk (Address will be valid throughout October). Old men are never wrong.
