Victor: What a difference
IT TAKES some believing that workers can drop a gate in a lock, then walk away leaving boaters stranded for over a week.
More online booking for boaters
THE Canal & River Trust is making passage through more staffed locks and tunnels, etc available online.
Not surprised at standard of work
SO those who managed to accidentality drop a gate into a lock have closed a flight for over a week, writes T. Lang.
Should re-employ skilled workers
IS LOCK 1 out of action as well as Lock 2 [on Atherstone Flight]? Asks Alan Baker.
A 'positive future'?
HOW sad it has become, the Canal & River Trust taking over from British Waterways Board promising a positive future for our inland waterways, writes Brian D Jarrett.
Harecastle rules will kill hire boating
IT DID NOT say in the article if it was one boat at a time or a batch of boats [through Harecastle Tunnel], writes Alan Baker.
Comorants pinching the trout at low reservoir
THERE are some very upset anglers who fish the Grand Union Canal reservoirs.

CHAOS indeed at Atherstone Flight on the Coventry Canal with queues stuck at least until the end of October.
CaRT admits cyclists go too fast!
THE Canal & River Trust has devised yet another campaign in an attempt to slow down cyclists on the towpath.
