Due to our ongoing efforts to conserve and protect water levels and manage resources, we will be changing the operating hours at Limehouse lock.    These will now be two hours either side of high water. We appreciate this might make planning journeys more challenging.   There may need to be further measures and restrictions implemented, depending on the continued severity of water management required and future water levels. We are actively looking at all ways to maintain levels and protect the safety of all,   We will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep you informed of any changes. Please remember to check all local and wider restrictions that might affect your ability to complete your entire journey.   We appreciate your continued cooperation, patience, and understanding during this time
