Ferry passengers had their travel plans thrown into disarray after an aborted plan to temporarily move the MV Isle of Arran to another route.
As early as last week passengers were being told they could not make any bookings for three days this week due to ‘operational reasons’. But they were not told of a plan by Caledonian MacBrayne to pull Arran’s second summer ferry off the route, at the height of the season, to bail out problems on Islay.
