CRT's own dates put the reopening (5 November 2025) before the start (6 November 2025), which cannot be right. The notice is excluded from every duration figure rather than counted as a negative length.

A Third party will be doing an eel survey in the Oxford Canal, which is a requirement for eel screening. The Environment Agency are aware. They will be placing a fyke net in the navigation to enable this. This navigation closure will run from 9:00 on the 06 November through to 13:00 on the 7 November 2025.
