It was even worse overnight though. They didn't want to go out and then get stuck in Heysham till this morning. It was forecast to quieten down gradually over the day so the weather was probably at its worst when they left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Big disruption !!?? What the fuck ? Not my post . surely cant be true ? Literally just got off the phone to The Steam Packet Company trying to book my daughter on the Ben-My-Chree with a dog anytime during practice or race week. I was told they are taking the boat out of service on May 29th until June 14th. The Mannanan doesn't take pets and they are replacing the Ben-My-Chree with a smaller boat mainly for unaccompanied vehicles. It didn't tell me this on the web site. Perfect timing to ruin travel plans for thousands after two years waiting for the return of the races. They mustn't want that many people to come for it. 😔 Edited February 16, 2022 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Taking the piss, telling people to travel overnight. It's not as if the daytime sailings are full. People have to provide proof of the flight so it's not open to abuse in any case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steam Packet weren’t going to offer daytime sailings at a cheap rate, or are they going to offer a cabin at a cheap rate. It’s not something that the ‘old’ Steam Packet would have done, it perhaps looks like a suggestion from politicians micromanaging from within the Treasury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's face it, foot passenger fares for the 0215 are normally only £20 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
