Overnight closure on Wightlink route

Mike .... a Bridge? Dream on
David.........Do you not think you are being a little OTT here? Things do need maintenance. The A34 at the moment has road closures in \Oxfordsire overnight for resurfacing. Can linkspan maintenance be done when it's in fairly constant use. Wightlink has given 4 weeks notice. It's also put additional sailings from Lymington to Yarmouth and is running Fast Cat services through the night. Also if it has to be done I could imagine the Saturday/Sunday overnight is the quietest of the week. I am not a fan of the Company but on this issue I suspect the amount of disruption will be minimal.

Why arn't they using the St Anton barge on the old slipway this is why they have b bought it for that purpase

Great forward planning Wightlink!!!!

Winter time table cuts, Lack of staff on crossings and now this.

If the link span was maintained properly in the first place this would not be a problem as it hasn't been in the past. another case of penny pinching on maintenance and putting your customer last.....but hey its not like we have a choice right!!! Wightlink just don't care about inconveniencing customers.as they have a monopoly and they know it.

Be sooooooooooo much better when we get the Bridge
