Opening the correct page, it even lists the Burslem Branch of the T&M
canal, which closed not long after I was born, but which they are hoping
to re-open "Real soon now", so maybe sometime this Century.

I can't see any actual *directory* in either of the above, there's
just the 'metadata' as it were, i.e. the copyright information and the
key to the contents - but no contents.

They are direct links. No directory listing permitted as is pretty
standard with WP. Firefox will do a direct download if the links are
pasted.

I have no qualifications in clairvoyance, that should be immediately
obvious.

As will Chrome, Iron and Edge.

The second link is an Excel workbook with five pages.

If you run a recent Windows OS, this can be "printed to .pdf" and then
sent to your printer.

The first link is the first page of the workbook in Portable Document
Format.

I never could understand multi page Excel spreadsheets, maybe that's
my problem!

Ah, so the PDF doesn't actually have the IWA directory.

Correct, it is just a pdf copy of the front page. If I were in the mood,
I could make a multipage pdf copy of the .xsls file, but as I had no
trouble opening it...

I didn't mean directory in the computer sense, I meant the IWA
directory. Neither link shows me anything useful, I just see the
descirption of what it is, some copyright stuff and a key to the
meanings of words and symbols, but no actual content.

I seem to have given an excellent answer, just not to the question
asked.

It is a multi page Excel workbook, and you have to select the page you
want using the toolbar at the bottom of the page..

Opens with Excel or Libre office Calc

For the sake of completeness, should it have the Arisaig and Dingwall
canals?

Then of course there was the Viking one on Skye!

A PDF "export all" works well, though the sorting functionality is lost:
https://www.mgn.org.uk/pub/IWA_directory_inland_waterways_010521.all.pdf

As has been pointed out the IWA's PDF contains just the front page, so
is basically useless.

There is no 'like' button here, a little more effort is required.
Please comment.
