7.30 Breakdowns (Read 811 times)

MartynK Senior Member Offline Looking for an upgrade..... Posts: 653 Gender:	7.30 Breakdowns May 12^th, 2009, 7:35pm Just as an FYI, I see a notice is showing at the ferry pier that DB5 has broken down and it will now be replaced by DB19 (I think they are the numbers). So make sure you have time and space....

Although there was a notice at the pier yesterday saying the 7:30am ferry would be a monohull, the 6:30am ferry today was also a monohull and pretty packed. Made good time though, the journey took only a few extra minutes.

At last count, 3 boats were out of service. I have recently counted 8 boats in operation, but with the breakdowns that leaves five working now. Would like to hear from anyone who knows just what the ferry situation is.
