CalMac

I would rather see essential maintenance carried out during a Calmac ferries annual overhaul period not it having to be withdrawn from service during the busy summer timetable with tourists planning to sail on the ferry having to sleep in their cars.

That's all well and good, and I'm certain everyone involved would prefer all maintenance to be completed during scheduled servicing down time. Unfortunately though it just doesn't work like that and when a ***** safety system becomes inoperable the vessel has to be withdrawn from service and essential maintenance carried out.

The potential option to sleeping in their cars for the tourists is burning to death at sea - seems the lesser of two evils to be fair.

The potential of not doing so doesn't bear thinking about.

No idea why the word 'v i t a l' would be starred out.

There are a number of ordinary words ‘starred out’ on Mad for no particular reason.
