Red Funnel runs with planned cancellations due to Covid
Red Funnel is running with a host of pre-planned cancellations today (Tuesday), as it tries to protect its busy weekend crossings.
It announced its plans last week, because about a third of its staff were self-isolating due to Covid Test and Trace, while scores more job vacancies remain unfilled.
From today (Tuesday) until Thursday, the following sailings have been scrapped:
Departures from Southampton: 0500, 0800, 1100, 1400, 1700 and 2100.
Departures from East Cowes: 0630, 0930, 1230, 1530, 1830 and 2230.
The same will be true next week, between Tuesday and Thursday, which is also the first week of the school summer holidays.
