Thames lock Brentford: bookings now online

[Scholar Gypsy]

 

I happened to notice that CRT have (since last week) added Thames Lock Brentford to the online booking portal. 

I’ve not checked the logic behind the website yet, but it seems to offer one time on each tide, but with quite a  few slots. Not sure yet if it is as good as the previous 0500-2200 availability!

Hopefully this will work better than the current useless system of phoning someone who has no idea where Brentford is or what a tide is! Have twice turned up to find no lockie and no record of a phone booking I had triple checked!

I agree.  A number of people are keeping a close eye on how this all works out! 

Tangentially, it sounds as though some progress is being made at Hammersmith,
