Not surprising, as there is no possibility of through traffic through them because the rest of the S&W is narrow gauge. Also, BW discourages the use of the wide (not broad) locks except by craft wider than a narrow boat, as their operation requires a considerable amount of water and the supply to the basins is modest. But they work fine. Adrian Adrian Stott 07956-299966
