Blimey Swansea is the main one for the BC, who will replace them or are we to just sort ourselves out?

Ah well, good job I can swim.

Just seen an item on this on the local news. They are going to centralise the coast guard services like they've tried to do with the other blue light services. It won't be the same without swansea coastguard. They've been there to keep us safe as long as I can remember. Twill be a sad day if they aren't saved, they do an excellent job.

Will be a shame if they go, i have used them 3 times in the last 20 years of sailing and they are excellent.(none of them were my call) Anyone else had a lifeboat out?

here at Ilfracombe dont think it will matter if its Swansea or Milford answering the Calls!

Apparently Swansea is the third busiest station in the UK.Seems hard to justify scrapping them.

I've also seen information that suggests this.

It will all be done from a call centre in India.
