Wightlink are having a bad time at the moment.

a couple of weeks ago a deck collapsed and now this.

there is a lot of anti - wightlink feeling on the island at present due to inflexible attitudes and pricing

The other ferry operators must be laughing

Nothing has changed in over 10 years then! I'd rather paddle across than use them... Red Funnel might not be perfect but they at least have some sort of customer service (or did) and seem to actually behave like a 'proper' ship company.

They may still be having issues with one of their ferries, collecting our curry last night a ferry approached and took four attempts to get into there Yarmouth dock, looked very odd as if one of the passengers had decided to have a stab at it..

It is a term trotted out every few days for delays on their timetable - on the fastcat as well...
