"There have also been further problems opening and closing the swing bridges at Reedham and Somerleyton, and we are holding a workshop in August with engineers from Network Rail and owners of some of the larger boats affected to see what can be done."

 

Has anyone from here been asked to participate?

[Baitrunner]

Well that will be robin then

I do wish they could find a nice picture of a broad or river to head the briefing, rather than keep trotting out that one of JP trying to look like JR!

What do the workings of the swing bridges have to do with large boat owners, all they need is the bridge to open when they need it to.

What is the workshop intended to achieve? To see if large boat owners can make their vessels smaller? Guilt trip them in to staying in the marina so network rail dont need to open the bridges? spend any money or risk any disruption to the precious railway?!

 

[Baitrunner]

But has anyone been asked to participate?

i haven't  heard of anyone in brundall being invited. And it's August now. 

Maybe it will be the same owners they asked about the toll changes? Never did find anyone who was asked.

Has there been any fresh news since the “workshop” as its gone quiet? 

Does anyone know anymore more?
