North Stratford

[Keeping Up]

We had an email at 11 this morning that there was a stoppage on the North Stratford, lock 6, due to the gate not being operable.

 

Does anybody have any more information?

I don't know. We just wanted to go to Birmingham but the BCN main line broke, now we need to get to Stratford for the theatre, then we want to go to Gloucester, and maybe up the Staffs & Worcester past Wolverley. What could possibly go wrong?

They are saying Gloucester may be open by the end of the month

Looks like another cruising schedule to avoid along with avoiding mrsmelly and his rain cloud.

I saw something on Facebook that said Lapworth was fixed now.

People we've seen today have said it wasn't open this morning (if you can believe what people say). The info from CRT is that it opened at 4.37 this afternoon (if you can believe what CRT say).

 

For those who want to avoid our disaster fuelled schedule this year we then plan to travel to Middlewich, Marple, and Macclesfield. Surely none of those could ever suffer from a stoppage.

Alliterally nothing can go wrong!

In the absence of any further info we decided to take the alternative route via Farmers Bridge and Knowle. Had a really good days journey apart from our prop being attacked by the Diabolical Duvet of Digbeth!

I hope you threw it back in readiness for the BCN Challenge.
