Wightlink has announced that at least 2 sailings have been cancelled on its Yarmouth-Lymington route next Tuesday.
The absence of an essential crew member means that the 07:10 sailing from Lymington has been cancelled, as well as the 08:00 sailing from Yarmouth.
It’s said that Wightlink has been unable to source cover for the absent members of staff.
The cross-Solent operator sincerely apologises for the inconvenience this action will cause.
OR, they haven’t got enough booking to make those crossings viable. Even the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson couldn’t make it up so well.
Glad I don’t need to travel to the Big Island these days.
Not surprising, they charge much more per crossing than the
Wightlink Fishbourne to Portsmouth route.
AhHa the infamous Shortage of Staff – Perhaps WL need to ask why they keep having staff shortages?
Having a fixed link would solve this problem permanently.
Could you imagine how long it would take for the
Idiots on the Island to build a bridge.
It took them months to refurbish the railway bridge in Lake.
Sadly it will never happen.
