- A video of the first passenger sailing from Ardrossan to use Brodick's new pier. The pier has taken about 2 years to complete but it is finally in operation. The first sailing was the 9.45 from Ardrossan on the 10th March 2018.
Cool. Liked the two-tone horns on Caley Isles' arrival :)
Glad you liked the video.
CalMac and Waverley Enthusiast I wonder when the glen sannox is to enter service
Mv Clansman is due to take over the service at the end of January 2019. That will be her first time there since the opening of the new Pier.
who built it
Seems to be somewhat of a modest success right now. Berthing time seems average, the only real reported issue is how slow it is getting foot passengers on and off, especially when summer comes round and numbers increase. There will be a lot of time wasted getting the gangway into place when a different vessel docks, as well as the fact that "only 6 people are safely allowed on it at one time", slowing boarding times even further. Hopefully experience as time goes on will solve this problem.
Not forgetting the fire they had a few days ago. Everyone was evacuated and the fire department called. Plus no one was stopping people when boarding so there was more that 6 people on the end piece at one time. There were about 5 or 6 passengers and about 2 or 3 staff so easily more than 6 and no one was even showing any concern for it. Its just the long walkway takes disabled and elderly people a long time to walk down. People can't board until everyone disembarking is out of the walkway. Not great but it will become more efficient over time. She was held back in a strong easterly a week or so ago. She sat at the pier for an hour or so before doing one last run to Ardrossan and then staying in Ardrossan for shelter for the rest of the day. She did an extra sailing the next day to cope with the excess traffic. She didn't finish until around 11pm. She was running a bit late again today but I don't know the reason. She will hopefully get her new passenger doors at some point as they were sent to the wrong place during her last overhaul. You currently have to duck a bit to board or disembark.
Not interested
Then why are you watching the video and commenting on it? If you aren’t interested, just find a video that you are interested in.
What sort of comment is this lol 🤣
If you're not interested, then why are you wasting your time leaving a very unnecessary comment. Like who asked about whether you're interested or not.
