Leeds & Liverpool at Burscough

[Aguila]

Glover's swing bridge (bridge 33) on Wheat Lane at Burscough is out of action.

 

We went through Friday 18th March and found that the BWB key was difficult to remove after operating the bridge. According to the locals, it's been like that for months and has been reported several times.

 

We came back on Sunday 20th and found that there was a BWB key stuck in the console allowing any passing Tom, Dick or Harriet to operate the bridge.

 

CRT have issued a stoppage notice with an update due at 9:30am on Wednesday 23rd March.

I think CRT will be swinging into action as hirers of boats will be on the L&L in plenty this Summer and will be mightily unhappy at spending all those thousands for a boating holiday.

They also need to sort out the perpetually emptying poolstock pound.

Glovers swing bridge (33) had a new key-barrel fitted this morning. Yipee!

The "repair" didn't last long. There was a CRT man on duty this morning letting boats through.
