To repeat what I actually said: "It's now got to the point that BW is going to have to make a nasty decision. Does it go on trying to keep all its current waterways open, but starve them all so they steadily deteriorate? Or does it throw some passengers to the wolves by reclassifying some routes as "Remainder" thus sharply cutting the costs of maintaining them and thus being able to look after the rest properly. "I'm afraid the answer is going to have to be the latter." That's because, if it's the former, no waterway will be in good condition, and I suspect that structures on many will start to be at risk of failure. Adrian Adrian Stott 07956-299966
