January the 1st - not 2nd. Ask the 'Taylors aboard a Narrowboat' who are covering this correctly. Lot of bad info on here. Civil Engineer ? Huh ? Have to add - what has most of the pictures got to do with it. Also did you ask The Taylor's for permission to use his drone footage.
CRT is on scene to *assist* but the Bridgewater Canal is a privately owned canal and it is primarily their responsibility for cleanup and/or repair and rebuild.
1) Much of the video material here is NOT the Bridgewater.....2) The Canal is owned by 'Peel Holdings' - not the Canal & River Trust (CRT) ....3) NO Railway line in close proximity!
Unhelpful Bogus. Was this compiled with AI? A lot of misinformation, starting with the date: it was the 1st of January, New years day, not the 2nd. The canal is not owned by the Canal & River Trust, but by Peel Holdings, who bought it for £1 and have not guaranteed that they will repair it The cause has not been established: whether the surrounding water table or just the canal overtopping The expected repair timescale is years, not weeks - cripes! The only useful bit was the tech drawings of how groundwater causes a collapse
For those who don't know whoever made this video is talking BS........ Don't be fooled by any video on this channel...... (Based on this one being BS) The maker obviously didn't do any decent research.
Secondly, there is no railway line anywhere near the breach. There is no station in Lymm and the Altrincham - Chester line runs the other side through Hale.
Weeks or months? I think you're being a bit optimistic. Also one of those clips looked like lake Geneva to me, which I don't recall being part of the canal system.
Decent pictures and narrative on Taylors Aboard u-tube channel, not this tripe. The biggest alarming fact is that this is allowed to be kept up. A classic example of an AI helped or even produced video. Serious factual errors, a few examples, the date, CRT rather than Peel holdings, the length, the quite useless speculation as to the cause, citing generalizations which could be applied to any canal or waterway, the length and so on. The pictures clearly picked by an AI asked to find waterway footage. Finally the repaired in weeks rubbish. It will beat least 2 years, the small matter of finance has to be sorted, detailed civil engineering surveys, landowner agreements for access, consultation with various authorities , insurance and compensations agreed, the list is very long. I read a comment on the AUTHORITATIVE Taylors Aboard a Narrowboat site by a poster the Peel company are committed to repair and reopening, quoting a councilor.
Good info BUT video ruined by awful flicky camera work and ridiculous clips of foreign waterways...WHY? Please think about tge people watching....we don't all have 20... 20 vision!
Lack of any maintenance is more likely the culprit. Peel Holdings own that stretch and have already put dams in place with a view to refloating the stranded boats.
This canal is owned and operated by Peel Holdings NOT the CRT. Why include photos of sink holes and buildings or towns obviously not from this area. Also no rail routes were affected by this breach. Mostly fake reporting. Crap AI compilation.
Peel, but CRT are presumably responsible for the River Bollin catchment flooding, which it did independently, judging by the vids of the torrent flowing over the weir. by the mill footbridge - towards the canal
What a load of rubbish - half these clips are not from the area or country!
I wish I'd read your comment before I wasted five minutes watching this pointless crap.

Why was he on about Canal and River Trust? The Bridgewater is run by Peel Holdings. Why were we treated to foreign footage? Load of rubbish.

Complete and utter tripe. A video made by someone who knows absolutely nothing about canals, their history, construction or usage.
Unhelpful

His AI must have picked up that part of the the Trans-Pennine cycle path and footpath used to be the Lymm railway. "Computer talks bollox"
@ yep 100% that’s what I thought too
The canal is not 60 miles long more like 39 miles about 65 km
Weeks or months?

Absolute rubbish!!
Weeks to repair the breach. 😂😂
Hmmm... click bait, inaccurate information...

I would like to see them fix that in a couple of weeks lol
Canals are self-levelling. They have weirs that bypass locks, to control the water level.
Rubbish
Good info BUT video ruined by awful flicky camera work and ridiculous clips of foreign waterways...WHY?

compiled with AI ?
It really isn’t good info. Date is wrong for starters
How about Old Age! Everything has a finite life!
Lack of any maintenance is more likely the culprit. Peel Holdings own that stretch and have already put dams in place with a view to refloating the stranded boats.
Wonders how all the tree's growing on the banks damages the canals ?
Leaving lots of excuses water
The canal has over 30 spill ways it's impossible
Well, for starters it was Jan 1st. How do I know? I ran past it
This canal is owned and operated by Peel Holdings NOT the CRT. Why include photos of sink holes and buildings or towns obviously not from this area. Also no rail routes were affected by this breach. Mostly fake reporting. Crap AI compilation.
Canal & River Trust or Peel Holdings?
Canal and River Trust have nothing to do with this breach or the Bridgewater Canal! It belongs to Peel Holdings!! Shockingly poor post .
Peel, but CRT are presumably responsible for the River Bollin catchment flooding, which it did independently, judging by the vids of the torrent flowing over the weir. by the mill footbridge - towards the canal
They carnt even mend the roads
