Thorne lock

[MrsM]

Apparently Thorne lock will not by be opening on 27th May as published. CRT could not say when it will reopen but it could be delayed by another week or two. Very frustrating for those of us waiting to get through and I wish CRT would update their stoppages information.

How did you get this information?

From the Trent Link Facebook group. 2 members telephoned CRT yesterday (Friday) and were given this information. Have you heard otherwise?

Also from the Torksey lockie this morning.

Sounds like there will be a stampede of boats making their way up the River  Trent  ( and possibly also in the opposite direction)  after Thorne opens.

 

Be aware that the tidal locks at Torksey and Cromwell must be pre booked at least 48 hrs in advance. 

 

Cromwell is operating 8am to 4pm  and the lock keepers are resistant to any  request outside of those hours despite C&RT indicating core hours are 7am to 9pm in summer months.

No - just informed friends who are heading that way trying to escape from Yorkshire

Bit of a nightmare isn't it. Hope your friends are not too inconvenienced.  Other half was tempted to go via Trent Falls but I'm not brave enough.
