Ooops

Planning not broken any more. Problems caused by odd closure data from CRT

Something is broken in planning. Not sure what it is yet.

Ok, so we went boating

the main office of the now defunct Tetley Brewery in Leeds

This is probably as boaty as this weekend will get

Well they didn't last long....

Ho! Ho! Ho!

💔 Our compound was broken into last night. Locks cut, container forced, tools stolen. Police are informed—but we're gutted. These tools help volunteers restore the Lichfield Canal for everyone.

Seen anything? Please get in touch.

it's scary the things you find when you start digging into other people's data structures.

Possibly - but you could argue that as they are closures in the UK that the JSON should be +01:00, switching to +00:00 in the winter. Was an easy fix - I'd just forgotten to set default TZ when I upgraded PHP.

Well that's interesting.

CRT Stoppage emails have start and end times with offsets but the offset is +0:00 when it should be +1:00 . So this closure finished at 13:31 and not 12:31 which is what is in the JSON.

Hmmmmm..."Chaos"....

Just another reminder DO NOT use btinternet email addresses to register your account with Canalplan as BT reject them as spam.

Usual first Sunday of the month server activity.

Sorry about the glitch with the site this morning. Something got corrupted and caused the front page to crash out and do odd things

Yes, very helpful

Canalplan as it happens knows the CRT internal codes for places but doesn't use them for managing stoppage email processing

Really Vietnam? Don't you have anything better to do?

With all the stoppages and restricted lock opening times I'm starting to wonder if Canalplan will have a future as anything more than a "remember how things used to be" novelty

That's just a small bit of ballast

A very pleasant evening in Market Drayton

There will be little or no support for Canalplan later this week as we're going to the boat to do some work and get some boating done. Hoping to be in Nantwich on Friday night

So... what's going on here?

Pushed a lot minor changes to canal plan today. Hopefully we've not broken anything

If anyone wants some broken flagstones (excess ballast) then if you can make it to Market Drayton on Thursday 26th you're welcome to have them.

Well there you go...

Ahh.... that's better

If you were having problems with the site Google Image search was swamping the server

I've now throttled them - severely

New O/S map tile set just uploaded. They only release them twice a year.
