Network Rail have been working closely with the Canal & River Trust to try and improve the safe and efficient passage of vessels through Selby Swing Bridge. The changes and improvements we have made and are still waiting for are highlighted in this pack. 17-Nov-15
• The Canal & River Trust have updated their website to show high tide times listed on line along with NWR preferred swinging times (natural gaps in the timetable). The intention is for the bridge operator to speak to vessels as they approaching and ask if they can hold back or speed up to pass through the bridge within these gaps. Its also intended that vessels plan their journeys accordingly to avoid these times. • IT to be placed in the Swing Bridge so the Operator has live knowledge on train movements. Currently they can only get this information by speaking to the controlling Signal Box. 17-Nov-15
04 Passage Planning Selby Rail Bridge Times Canal & River Trust in conjunction with Network Rail have issued the notice on their site and an email alert has been sent to all River Ouse subscribers. Network Rail have recently installed new bridge headroom monitoring equipment at Selby Rail Bridge and are working with CRT to develop a system of riverside bridge call up signs for Selby Rail Bridge. The call up signs will be designed and located to provide more reliable information of vessel arrival times at the bridge. When completed these improvements will improve river safety and efficiency of bridge swings. Where at all possible, and safe to do so, skippers are also asked avoid requesting bridge swings at peak train times. Lowering masts in advance of bridge arrival can also reduce the amount of https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notice/3601/selby- bridge swings. Details of train times and other railway-bridge-river-ouse useful safety information on navigating the River Ouse can be found at email alert has been sent to all River Ouse https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/north-east- subscribers. waterways 17-Nov-15
The bridge now remains closed to river traffic between the hours of 2200-0600, Sunday to Friday inclusive. The bridge is be left open to river traffic when the box closes on a Saturday night until opening on the Sunday morning. This reduces the risk of the bridge failing prior to the first services. This notice has been issued by the canal and river trust already and is now a signal box special instruction. 17-Nov-15
Signage on the River Ouse to ask vessels to call up at certain points as located on the map. The intention is that the bridge operator will have a better idea where the vessel is and have more notice when planning. (vessels are not required to have a VHF radio or give prior notice) 17-Nov-15

The £45M project to provide greater flood resilience in Leeds is now well underway. The works so far have involved: • Walls to raise the heights of walls through Leeds, most notably at River Lock, outside the Asda building and at Thwaites Mill. • The weir at Knostrop has now been removed and the water levels are being retained by a temporary weir while the new moveable weir is being constructed. • Large sand bags have been placed along the south bank of the canal at Knostrop cut to act as a flood defence during the works, because the placement of temporary works makes the risk of flooding greater than it was before. • Knostrop Island is being removed.
Works over the next 12 months will include: • Completion of the weir at Knostrop. • Completion of the removal of the island. • Permanent closure of Knostrop Flood Lock to boats. • Removal and replacement of Crownpoint weir • Further wall raising works through Leeds, most notably at Fearns Wharf.
