7.30 Breakdowns

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....

Thanks, MartynK.
Good to see that now they are making more money and have reduced costs, they still can't manage their fleet effectively....... Shocked

Yes, probably will take them "months" to get a few boats back in service  Roll Eyes

Seems to have quite a few seats left on departure every day - previously they already warned it would be monohull so was surprised when they began running the cats.

The third ferry out of service. How many ferry does DB have in their fleet? Could they change ferry schedule to once per hour?  Huh

I certainly wouldn't want the schedule running less than every half hour in the morning.

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.

Selfishly, am glad I wasn't on that one then, Trish!

Could be a lot of monohull traffic today  Sad

Does anyone know the exact number of ferry boats owned by DB? 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.   Smiley
