MORE than 40,000 ferry sailings across Scotland’s west coast have been cancelled since 2018, ministers have admitted.
The information was revealed in an answer to a parliamentary question tabled by West Scotland MSP Jamie Greene.
Mr Greene said the figures showed that “chronic under-investment” had “clearly impacted CalMac’s ability to run a robust and resilient service”.
His question was posed amid growing concern at the ageing ferry fleet operated by Caledonian MacBrayne on the Clyde and Hebrides ferry service network, and the resulting impact on the reliability of services.
