A slightly confused argument here. Apparently the canal network is:
The revival of the canal network represents both a commercial and a cultural triumph.
A commercial triumph? Excellent, so it pays its way does it, this network?
…last year’s grant to the canals was £7 million lower than anticipated,
at £55 million, and this year the sum is likely to be slashed by
another £7 million. As a consequence, British Waterways has cut
spending on infrastructure and made 180 people redundant.
Oh, no, it doesn’t pay its way. So how is it a commercial success then?
