Caledonian MacBrayne announces independent Market Research to be carried out onboard ferry on Stornoway/ Ullapool Service


Caledonian MacBrayne announces independent Market Research to be carried out onboard ferry on Stornoway/ Ullapool Service

15 November 2007


Caledonian MacBrayne has received a number of representations from certain groups wishing to see a change to the ferry timetable on Saturdays, requesting, in particular, the opportunity to return later from the mainland on Saturday evenings.
 
Consultation meetings have been held with various groups and with the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar but, to sound out the views of the wider community, Caledonian MacBrayne has engaged the services of an independent market research company whose staff will be travelling on MV “Isle of Lewis” this Saturday, 17 November, and for the following three consecutive Saturdays.
 
In addition to the current timetable, two suggested alternative timetables are being investigated, one involving a later start on Saturday mornings from Stornoway and one altering the times of Saturday afternoon sailings. No changes would take place without detailed consultation with connecting coach operators to ensure that their services would be adjusted to suit.
 
Caledonian MacBrayne welcomes the opportunity, now that the new contract has been signed, to consider such requests from communities in order to continue to improve timetables where possible.
Ends.
