Ah!  The info only appears if you search for dates up to 31 Aug.  I  
searched on Phil's preferred dates but the data is listed on the site  
as being applicable up to 31 Aug.  Which it clearly isn't.  Just  
another weakness in the way BW notify stoppages/restrictions.

For instance, I got a notification this morning that the K&A was  
short of water and that the locks would be closed outside the hours  
of 09:00 to 16:00.  Just now a second notification popped up saying  
that this applied to Locks 54 and 55 [either side of the summit  
pound] - but without any reference back to the previous notification.

Still, it's better than Teletext pages 555/6 [remember that?]
