Ace 01 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi Came through Marsworth yesterday heading south and one of the balance beams had an undated notice stating the Aylesbury arm was closed UFN. There was a CaRT work boat above the top lock of the arm completely blocking passage also. HTH. Cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
