Just seen this on the LDBWS forum and thought I would pass it on.

Hello a bit of an update on the pending work due to be carried out, we have had word from Network Rail that they are due to begin some structural repair work to the railway bridge that runs over the road to Eric Morecambe and Allen hides. We don't have an exact date yet, but work is likely to start next week, and could go on for 3-4 weeks. The initial work will still allow vehicular access to our car park there, although this will become disrupted when their lorries arrive with deliveries. However, the subsequent work, involving painting the bridge, will mean that there is no vehicular access, so the hides will only be accessed on foot. We will let you know more information with proper timings, once we do, we just wanted to pre-warn that there will be some disruption to the access to the Eric Morecambe and Allen hides over the next few weeks, so please have a look on here or ask the team in the visitor centre if you would like more details. This work will not effect access to Leighton Moss, our visitor centre or our main car park.

I was there today and the work starts Monday for about 6 weeks. A guy was putting signs up in the hides. Its really the last two weeks when access is denied to cars and the middle two will be disruption as contractors may have to move their vehicles but the beginning two weeks should be ok. Trouble is there isnt anywhere close by were you could park up and walk. The entry drive is just a cars width now so parking there would just be blocking it.
