Show Notes
Scotlands west coast ferries face a crisis with eight vessels sidelined, leaving island communities stranded. Four are under routine maintenance, while four others encounter unexpected issues, causing a full-blown crisis on routes to Coll, Tiree, Colonsay, Arran, Islay, and Jura. The situation worsens as the MV Lord of the Isles loses engine power, joining other held-up vessels. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton blames the SNP government, demanding MSPs return to Holyrood for solutions, including compensation for affected individuals and businesses. Meanwhile, the newest addition, MV Isle of Islay, finally begins passenger service, and Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop assures efforts to minimize disruptions and restore normal service.
