Bell Weir Lock 'broken'

On the canalWorld forum Paringa has posted:-

For those on the Thames and hoping to travel through Bell Weir Lock it is broken.
Time now is 1000 on Sunday 30th July.
A engineer has been called.
I am told it will most likely open later today but that is speculation.
Please share this on any other Thames forums

We are returning from Penton Hook to Bray and currently moored up in Staines town centre waiting for it to open again.

Only broken for 3 hours? The poor Lockie would have barely had time for a cuppa
