monasqueen Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Already proved false! The 07.30 was cancelled. Do not expect Ben to be on time this evening, either - there was a huge queue of ferries waiting to get into Heysham today, which was closed this morning due to the wind.

John Wright Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 monasqueen, please read what news bot says. It is correct and you are wrong. It says that sailings later than 13.04 today will run to time. So the 07.30 didn't sail, well surprise surprise 07.30 is before 13.04 not later than 13.04 qed Never let fact get in the way of your argument however! As Heysham has three linkspans now, what possible problem could there be and don't you think that priority will be given to passengers over freight? However a quick IOMPSCo web check shows the Ben sailed 55 minutes late from Heysham so to that exetnt newsbot was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 OK. Yes, Ben does appear to have been given some priority at Heysham, but she was nowhere near on time!! This mornings Viking sailing finally left at 10.50, in what looks like awful seas. Glad I'm not on board the vomit comet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
