Good news - driving back from York tonight, all the signs for Cawood bridge being closed have vanished, so we headed over through Stillingfleet from Escrick to find the B1222 and Cawood swing bridge are open again. No more trips via Selby to get to York (well, until next time...). The B1222 through Naburn has also been open for a few days now. Fingers crossed someone has told Arriva, and that a number 42 bus turns up to take Jenny to work tomorrow!

On a related note, I'm considering setting up something to keep people posted about whether Cawood swing bridge is passable. The only down side is finding out where to get a definitive answer on when it's going to be closed and re-opened (or when river traffic is passing through it). If anyone know where to get this information, or anyone is interested in me posting info about the bridge being open or not, please post comments here - thanks!
