Not just the Pride , Fusedale H and Farndale H are poised and I understand there may be a couple of others soon.
If a few do start running it might help keep the silt swilled to the edge.

We'll see ! I hope I'm wrong, but I'll be surprised if the canal bed has been re-instated to its previous depth of 9'(+) where the leak was on the sharp turn near New Bridge. In the true sense of the term, there never was a breach, as such, . . it was simply the canal bed blowing out underneath some short piles above the culvert that takes the dyke to the Dutch River pumping station under the canal at that point. The propeller wash from every passing loaded Westbound barge scours the canal bed away at the bottom of the piling, . . and has been doing so, more and more severely, since the introduction of bigger capacity and longer barges back in the 1960's. There is also the distinct possibility of problems in maintaining normal water levels because of other serious bank leaks along the whole of the Goole - Sykehouse - Pollington pound, forcing the commercials to continue loading light, and possibly providing C&RT with another excuse to either close the canal again, or leave it open with a much reduced operational draught. The leaks will be where lengths of the Larssen bank piling has collapsed into the canal due to so many months of such low water levels during all the unnecessary farting about and delays with the works at New Bridge.

Blending plant for them oil is to valuable to waste on driving vehicles! They make WD40 there and lots of other things, no smell to be honest, Forgemastesr is miles away we have lots of industry providing well paid jobs for local people, whats not to like?

As has been pointed out, oil will be with us for a while yet cars or no cars. I spent a couple of months at an unlovely mooring on the S&SY in Rotherham once, I just wondered if you were at the same one (which was by an oil storage facility which stank).

Tullys is next to the oil depot, the other two moorings are at Eastwood and Iccles neither are near Exol. It has been done up over the last few years to increase storage capacity and stop the smell I would assume, although in the last 20 odd years I havent noticed a smell at all

Maybe there had been a spill in the recent past but I couldn't stand the stink (which was acrid and nasty) so I toodled off to Sheffield basin. I expected a frosty welcome because there were several fugees from there at Tully's following a fairly high-profile mass eviction but things were ok enough. In fact no-one ever asked me for mooring fees in 3 months (TBH I didn't enquire if any were chargeable).

The only evictions from Tullys that I know of were Derek and Chris, you do know that Tully once leased the moorings in Sheffield, but that was a long time ago, years before I got there, maybe 30 years ago?
