Chris, thanks for giving me an excuse for some post-Sunday lunch exercise!

The good news is that the three breaks in the towpath between Fobney and Southcote locks have been repaired. Basically surface dressing and a bit rough for a Brompton.

But there is work on the A33 where it crosses the canal just after where the canal meets Foudry Brook. It looks like they are going to widen the bridge an extra bus lane, and hang a bike lane off the side?? RBC‡(resolve) has waffled about this for so long that it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction. It does restrict joining the tow path to a single option, as opposed to two or three previously. Not sure how or when extending the bridge will affect the towpath.

Thanks, Sid!  Grin

That still amounts to some progress, though.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
