I can't see any connection. The previous stoppage notice on the Ashton had said that there would be an update today. Today's stoppage notice says (although you didn't quote it - maybe it wasn't on the text version) that there will be a further update in two weeks. This stoppage has never been associated with the words "until further notice". -- Martin Clark Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
