K&A navigation info

[GSer]

I must be feeling a bit thick this morning, I remember there was a restriction in place at the County Lock in Reading, so I try and find this info on the web to see if its still in effect, and I am failing miserably, i tried to phone BW but they only offer an emergency number.

 

Is there a number I can ring about restrictions?

Cheers, thanks, yes, that mentions the stoppage at the end of September for repairs but there was a time restriction in place a month or so back and the gates were locked outside those times and assistance was provided within those times, I just can't seem to find info on that?

 

I need to travel upstream through Reading on the K&A either tonight or early tomorrow (Sunday)

Thanks, that's the one, it looks as though it was only restricted for a few days, many thanks for your help, help yourself to a beer on me
