P&O's EXPRESS - SHORT TERM REPLACEMENT
FOR SEA EXPRESS I? |
February 10 |
|
Gossip on the waterfront suggests that EXPRESS, currently
refitting at A&P Falmouth, is rumoured to be the vessel likely to
provide some short term cover for the collision damaged SEA EXPRESS I
before SUPERSEACAT TWO re-enters service. EXPRESS is not scheduled to
commence regular service on her own routes to Troon and Cairnryan until
March 16 - she is scheduled to make rugby special sailings between Larne
and Troon on March 09 and 11. |

LANDING STAGE EXTENSION |
February 03 |

| DUKE OF
LANCASTER |
January 27 |
|
There is a rumour doing the rounds that a group - "The Friends of the
Duke of Lancaster" has been formed to preserve the former British
Railways turbine steamer which currently resides on a mud berth at
Llanerch-y-Mor. The group is believed to be supported by
Lancaster and Barrow Councils who would look to bring the ship to Barrow
for preservation.
Has anyone heard anything?
One must question if the ship may survive extrication having sat
on her bottom for so long.
A recent post to the BBC Wales message board concerning the sale
of the ship for scrap is a "done job" |
