Show Notes

South Uist islanders face severe ferry service cuts, with CalMacs aging fleet causing widespread disruptions across Scotlands west coast routes. The islands lifeline service drops from ten to three sailings a week, with longer routes and increased travel times. Locals and businesses express frustration, feeling unheard and punished, as promised reviews on service priorities made no real difference. CalMacs new CEO apologizes and promises to restore normal schedules, but the community remains skeptical about their voices being heard before more pain hits, as a new ten-year contract worth billions is locked in without tender.
