My dad went to school in Knottingley, and whenever there was a launch they were all marched round to Harkers to watch. He became a welder there

We were waiting to go down. It was a sight to beholden!

Woodnook Lock today. 4 squeezing in

Here’s ours taken in 2011

Fixed in place, with motion sensors. No editing, just cut length a bit. We’ve had herons perch there for much longer sometimes, barely moving, but that doesn’t make for such good viewing

Yes it is

Sorry, needed to contact my in-house IT dept! I think it was worth the wait though ?

Thanks for the replies. The lights are amber this morning so they’re pretty prompt at being updated

But if it’s no longer a hazard, will the lights be updated, or remain red til someone gets round to changing them? ( or are they also automated?)

The Nicholson Guide states a flashing red light means it’s unsafe for navigation. Specifically Lemonroyd Lock currently has one. It’s not listed as a stoppage on CRT’s website tho

? ok - at locks?

Can anyone tell me how often are the traffic lights are updated please?

After wading through a permanently closed thread created by a spider hating bitumen painting lady, I have come to appreciate that this forum is all about give and take. (And not just reading anonymously!) When I needed help, I took and haven’t given anything back, so time to redress that now. This service has recently started. We haven’t used them yet (Jerry cans have been the order of the day up til now) but it’s good to know about, especially if anyone is in the same situation we found ourselves in. Hope someone finds this useful

We came through Fall Ings lock and moored right behind the garage. All straight forward, we managed to fill 100 litres via containers - just watch out for the needles on the walk round! Thanks I’ll ring ahead in the week

Yep, right across the road

I rang them this aft and they have none; couldn’t advise when they would either.

It was more about the Aire and Calder but that’s good to know about Selby. It helps build a bigger picture, thanks

Ok, thanks. Is this a seasonal issue? And because it's a less used waterway, or do most boaters have this problem?

Tbh it’s not the cost that’s the issue right now it’s the availability.

Yes, I’ll let you know how it goes
