People usually say the Thames is tidal to Teddington Lock, even though
the lowest lock is at Richmond Weir.

As well as the lock there sluice gates which are lifted when the tide
has risen high enough and the tidal flow is unimpeded.
When those are open craft just proceed past without using the lock.


I can't see them in Google. Why don't they just open both lock gates and
let the boats through there?
