Hi, helping a friend to bring a boat from Hampton to Tidal Thames. Are the locks fully manned and operating or do we need to be mindful of anything?
 
Molesey was on self service but electric so fine.

Tedd is open 0700/2100 and is manned.

Assuming you are heading past Richmond ? If so you will go on the tide ? If not the half tide lock is also manned but call them as I would check given they are PLA and not EA and not used it for a very long while.
 
Molesey was manned this weekend, it won't be self service apart from breaks, weir duty and out of hours.
Good to see Steve back?

I can assure you it was not manned at 1155 on Sunday !! The three lock fulls must have hit all at the same time as the break and weir duty ;)
 
It's good that Teddington is back to almost normal.

I wonder when they will be back to 24h operation. I had been hoping for a 5am passage outward bound middle of next week but that seems unlikely.
 
All locks working from Teddington to Marsh.Most on self service.Cookham and Henley very busy Runnymeade and Hampton Court quiet along with Teddington lock moorings. Windsor about average.
