So even though the line was built to the same gauge as the rest of the GU
was widened to ( with the exception of one set of locks)
you feel that it should be the preserve of narrow boats only.
Isn't that rather a selfish attitude?
As for one way tunnels there are many of them all over the country so that
is hardly a hardship.
I have to say that more and more there is an attitude of canals are for
narrowboats and the rest can go forth, I just find it unbelievable that
individuals and certain organisations can hold this view, after all we all
own BOATS and we all enjoy similar things about them.
