While last night’s Ardrossan-Campbeltown sailing went ahead, the route has been cancelled from today.
The major technical issue with MV Caledonian Isles’ engine was fixed four days ahead of schedule, meaning the MV Isle of Arran was able to begin the Campbeltown service last Friday
CalMac had previously announced that the start of the service would be delayed by a week
‘…we will not be able to start the Campbeltown service from Thursday April 28 as planned’
‘We’re so grateful to the CalMac Community Fund for making the ‘Cans’ Film Festival possible’
There are no plans to increase capacity on Islay ferries this summer despite an anticipated rise in users
‘A lorry got stuck when it lost traction going off the ramp when the vessel arrived in Tarbert, but managed to get off once the tide dropped…’
The temporary timetable was due to continue till February 6. However, the winter timetable for most routes resumed on Wednesday, January 26.
CalMac has announced that its summer timetable for next year will see marginal ticket price increases for all vehicles with the exception of motorhomes which will be hardest hit.
Islanders react to news of two new ferries for Islay after a summer of cancellations and disruption across the CalMac network due to breakdowns with the ageing fleet.
