Anderton Services
Tuesday 26 January 2010 until further notice
Due to persistent vandalism and extremely high reactive maintenance costs it is with regret that British Waterways have had to close this pump out for the unforeseeable future. Alternative pump outs can be found at Acton Bridge, Alvechurch Marina Anderton and Middlewich Narrowboats.
Further updates will be issued week commencing Monday 1st February 2010.
British Waterways apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Enquiries: 01782 785703
If it's closed for the "unforeseeable future" does that mean that it's not closed for the foreseeable future?
While I'm on the subject of daft stoppage info, my inbox was recently inundated with lots of very similar messages about various non-openings. For example, instead of one message saying that the Atherstone lock flight on the Coventry Canal wouldn't be opening for the weekend of 6th/7th February, I got five different alerts, for locks 2, 4, 6, 9 and 10, where the only difference in the e-mail was the lock number. A similar thing happened for the Dudley No. 1 Canal (three e-mails), the Staffs & Worcs Canal (four), and the Stourbridge Canal (four).
