The police won't allow BW to let 20+ boats at a time pass through the two busiest swing bridges any more. They have to let 6 - 8 through and then re-open the bridge to traffic, then let the next bunch through later on, once the traffic chaos has subsided. -- Martin Clark Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
