Did you see it was spoofingly put up for sale on Wightbay, with people bidding things like 'a half-eaten sausage' for it?

Sadly the advert has been removed now.

I didn't see that one, but 'a half-eaten sausage' sounds about right

"Isle of Wight Council report reveals that they 'do not know' why the hydraulic system's parts had failed so spectacularly."

Wow...

Currently expecting a mid-December return to service if all goes well, following the installation of new valve blocks, shafts and motors, tandem hydraulic pumps, cylinders, hyrdraulic hoses and prow modifications. Also the aim from now on isn't to fix the floating bridge, merely 'reduce the levels of failure'...

"staff refresher training. After all, it so rarely works the staff get few opportunities to know what to do with it when it actually is." -
