Now seen parts 1 and 2. Enjoying this so far. Hoping there's going to be an in depth look at why the ferry fleet is so old and decrepit, i.e. asking the SNP some searching questions about why they've made such an almighty hash of the commissioning process.

Island Crossings

The story of the ferry service that is vital to Scotland's west coast and its islands.

I'm surprised enough sailings took place to make a series with that many episodes Grin
The ferry situation is a total shitshow

Agreed!

I do enjoy Inside Central Station so will probably end up watching this.

Yes - I find it interesting, especially as I live on an island too.

Oh, I might give it a watch. We're in England but use the various ferries to Mull to visit family there.

It's very restful (if you're not the one facing some huge crisis because of ferry delays, that is). Beautiful scenery.
