20 March 2010 - Due to excessive rain the grand opening of the Slough Caverns has been put back 5 years. The scheduled opening is now expected to be April 2015. Debbie Longlegs, spokesgirl for the Slough Caverns Trust based on the Cayman Islands said that this gives us plenty of time to mop up all the rain water and stuff as its hard work. All ticket sales will be honoured for the 2015 opening and people that hold advance tickets should make a note in their diary for April 2015. In the mean time Debbie Longlegs says people should continue to look at the pictures on the web site as they are cool.

The studies which will all take place at depths of 2-3 miles beneath Slough train station will be carried out at night as the bats are nocturnal. Alexandra Whittaker says he's thrilled at being awarded the research project, and has currently set up base the in new apartment blocks next to Slough train station which is just a 2 minute walk from the caves main entrance within the Tesco superstore. The service lift is currently not available to the general public because of European health and safety regulations regarding stale air which is found in random pockets in the caves and sends people loopy.
