Does that mean I will get a 3 month refund on my bridgewater licence ? I think not !

[Pie Eater]

Wishful thinking.

 

I don't think that those with CaRT licences get a refund for their winter stoppages either.

The Bridgewater Canal web site is still showing the closure to be from 31st October 2016 to 24th February 2017.

For some reason the website has not been updated.

 

Bridgewater Canal Company notice no 30/2016 shows the stoppage starting on 05.12.16 to 31.03.17.

Evening Steve, Sorry if my post was coming over as contradicting your information. That was not the intention, It was just that I find the Bridgewater Canal to be a bit frustrating not quite knowing how or when to plan a passage. They probably keep their customers (i.e. boats with a Bridgewater Canal license) well informed, but as a CRT license holder, I am never quite sure what is and what is not going on. I remember vainly trying to get to Castlefield last year to find the canal blocked and having to reverse all the way back to the Pomola Lock to turn last year. There were not signs that the canal was closed and, for once, the towpath tom toms let me down. So many thanks for letting me know what is going on. Regards.

Reminder that this 3 MONTH stoppage starts next week.
