VHF Channel 14 "City Docks Radio" (use low power)
The lock opens at HW -2½, HW -1½ and HW -¼ If the last lock-in is missed, call VHF channel 12 for advice. The river dries, but the mud at the waiting pontoons is soft. The lock master is on duty from 3 hours before HW until about 45 minutes after. The bridges are not opened if the level in the river is above the level in the Floating Harbour. Nor are they opened between 08:00-09:00 and 17:00-18:00 (Mon-Fri).
