An additional ferry service has been added to the Cal-Mac winter timetable with a new 8.20am Sunday sailing from Brodick to Ardrossan, after a public vote in favour of the new service.
But the extra Sunday sailing comes at the loss of the 7.20pm Saturday service, which was backed by a majority of 67 per cent of respondents in the survey held last winter by the Isle of Arran Ferry Committee.
A CalMac spokesman said: ‘Our community consultation process enables us to listen to and act on feedback from the communities we support, allowing us to deliver services that best support their needs.
