Amazing news, the Glen Sannox has entered service with a Troon Brodick crossing, quite a few years late and vastly over budget, but finally in service.

Hopefully Cal Mac get this sorted, 18 months out of service at this stage.

Would they have got two E Flexers for the price of the Glen Rosa ( I know they would not fit the Calmsc ports) but what a huge waste of money!.
