Description

Original 9 July 2026, 3:01pm

Ribble Link passages are closed due to low water levels from the dry weather we have recently been experiencing.

We will continue to monitor the situation daily and will provide fortnightly updates, or sooner if conditions change.

As soon as the water levels have replenished enough to allow safe navigation, restrictions will be lifted.

If you have a booking for the Ribble Link that is affected by this closure and would like to cancel, or re-arrange your passage, you can do so via your online account, alternatively you can call us on 0303 0404040.

A further update will be provided on or before Thursday, 23 July
