timeous transportation of folk along with their vehicles and
accumulated stuff continues, with yours truly doing his part to help.
This is a Bank Holiday weekend so we have been particularly busy with
people maybe heeding the Government and doing the staycation thing.
Which will help the local economy and indeed Caledonian MacBrayne in
getting them there.
The Orkney and Shetland ferry services called Northlink are owned by
the Scottish Government and managed by Caledonian MacBrayne. The
contract for this service was up for tender and renewal this year.
Yesterday it was announced that the contract has been won by Serko
plc. who will take over in three months for a six year term. Cal Mac
management will clearly be upset about this and it has also got a few
on here talking and considering the future as all of our Clyde and
Western Isles services are up for tender next year. Change is
inevitable, except from vending machines.
The photo is of Duart Castle which we pass up to 14 times a day, not a
bad view from the office window. Great weather since I joined, wall
to wall sunshine just a pity that it is so chilly, snow caps on all
the distant hills, but then it is May.
