Well, I've just read it's taken three years campaigning to get the Ferry company to even consider adding some late night ferries, so maybe making a start on the next one might bear fruit by 2008...

Is anyone interested in having more than one ferry per hour between 9:30pm and 12:30am. More ferries would mean not being so obsessed with clock-watching mid-week, and would not mean it taking over one and a half hours to get home after watching a film at the cinema (i.e. film ends at 9:30, get home at 11:15). In addition, it might mean getting a comfortable ferry journey home, rather than sitting in the plastic-seated icebox that is the slow ferry (how many people are moving freight at 11:30pm anyway...?).

I'd propose extra fast ferries at 9pm, 10pm, 11pm and midnight, with slow ferries still leaving on the half hour (moving the 8:45 to 8:30).

As an aside, I actually wrote to the ferry company about this over a year ago but they didn't bother responding - perhaps if they didn't hold a monopoly on the service they'd improve their customer service...

More like 15 years, probably longer but I've only been here 15.

Doesn't seem a big deal to me; and it would mean doubling the number of ferries in action; a big increase in costs. But they could run them with 50 or 45 minutes between ferries with the same crewing I think. Not that anything we write here or even directly to them has any effect on them, of course.

it sounds nice but really what about the late night? They could slide just two
a two 0' clock in the am and a five or some thing.


If they clould be the suck boats like that awful extremely small fast ferry it is like riding the shipping lanes in a coke can.
