Transport / Single vessel again for Yell Sound ferry service on Friday
THE YELL Sound ferry service will again run with a single vessel tomorrow (Friday) to a shift timetable following a fault with the Dagalien‘s control system earlier this week.
The service has been reduced to a single vessel since Tuesday, with a specialist engineer drafted in to look at the problem.
Bookings are available for Friday, but those for the following runs are no longer valid and will have to be rebooked:
- Ulsta to Toft – 0745, 0845, 0945, 1115, 1215, 1355, 1500, 1600, 1655
- Toft to Ulsta – 0815, 0915, 1045, 1145, 1245, 1430, 1525, 1630, 1730
Anyone booked on these sailings is asked to rebook by contacting the booking office on 01595 745804 or by email on ferrybooking@shetland.gov.uk.
Apologising for the inconvenience caused, the council added that the crew will endeavour to put in extra runs where there is a build up of traffic.
