A view of the Nivernais summit cuttings  in 1967 gives an indication of the unkempt state into which the canal had slipped. Human figures, bottom left, indicate the scale. 

 

When Secunda began operating 10 years later the future of the route was still unsure. The three tunnels at the top, so it turned out, when the canal was finally saved, were in urgent need of remedial attention.
