@CalMac_Updates Does this mean you're cancelling Thursday's 7.00 departure from Lochboisdale to Oban, as the ferry is berthing overnight at the wrong island? If so, will you be putting on an early morning connecting ferry from Eriskay to Ardmhor?

@CalMac_Updates Why have you still not releases the summer timetable for Phase 2 routes, including Lochboisdale? What is causing the delay? It's now only 2 months until they start.

@CalMac_Updates My question was why is this timetable release delayed? Also, why no apology fur the delay? It is now little more than 2 months before the summer timetable is due to start.

@CalMac_Updates Will there be additional sailings from Lochmaddy to provide additional capacity?

@CalMac_Updates It would have been more useful to say this service was departing 4 hours earlier than originally timetabled today. Nothing on the service information page saying so but it did, (hence the Craignure/Oban cancellations).

@CalMac_Updates Did you mean the 24th? The vessel is currently tied up in Lochboisdale and has no schedule taking it to Oban before this departure time on Monday 23rd. Same on subscriber texts.

@CalMac_Updates @ianshand2 Perhaps it might help if the reasoning behind each cancellation was published, citing the specific windspeeds, limitations on vessel manoeuvrability etc that led to it. Making the right decision is one thing, but being seen to make the right decision requires transparency.

@CalMac_Updates Thanks. Might be useful if the Oban sailings could be mentioned on the Service Status page given it's an extra sailing on what are normally non-sailing days in the winter timetable. The extra services for 26th and 2nd Jan are, and the previous Mallaig services on 24th/31st were.

@CalMac_Updates Your subscriber sms text update for route 22 only mentioned Tarbert being cancelled for the rest of the day, not Lochmaddy.

@ssencommunity Next time you arrange for a helicopter to whirl poles towards my house please can you provide advance notice, and maybe a hard hat? #Lochboisdale

@CalMac_Updates Why are you not postponing it until Friday, instead of cancelling it entirely, especially as we now won't have a service on Friday either, and nothing until at least Tuesday? It's only once a week you offered Lochboisdale a sop of a service, so surely we are worth this?

@CalMac_Updates Has your IT department replied? Still no texts coming thru for previous subscribers.

@CalMac_Updates This is my point: all my route subscriptions were deleted as a result of your website upgrade, despite the last text message sent saying they would only not be sent "for up to 4 hours". You need to inform people of this error and the need to resubscribe.

@CalMac_Updates You linked to the wrong service page (again). It should be route 21, not 23. #Eriskay

@CalMac_Updates Wrong! You are running a service between Oban and #Lochboisdale tomorrow, Thursday 21st, and next Thursday 28th. Why do you destroy our island economy further by telling people there are no ferries when there are?
