      yeah, they had 2 engine room fires in may and haven't done the necessary upgrades/modifications to keep the safety certificate.

              Blood* cats are a pain
              and the tea is better on wightlink ferry too and they take the surf

              not sure what all the fuss is about SO they had a fire or two
              just pull the plug out and all that water under and around the boat will soon put it out hey

                  They have got another couple of ferry companies operating their service for them whilst the cats are non-functional

                  Wightlink needed knocking down a peg or two!! they think they have a captive market. Now maybe they might think about lowering their prices!!!

                  I never use that service as Red funnel run a Cat from Cowes to Southampton and their crafts are a lot newer!

                      That is not always true I am afraid Pop's, they appear to take it in turns to make special offers! and now it is always better to check their websites BEFORE booking as often their best offer is only available via the net!!

                        well that may be the case dunno but every time iwe have come to grace your isle the wightlink has come up trumps on price and the lymington route is as fast as the dreaded fast cat but takes my truck
