11.15pm, have just got in from work, we have heard nothing official during the day re bridge repairs.

If the bridge is repaired for Folk Week (PLEASE let it be so) our company wouldn't be in a position to continue a ferry service as
1)We are currently running through the bridge opening, once that closes we could not get under for most of the tide
2)We do not normally have any authority to use the angling boat pontoon, which is where we are running to, sorry Tig, Oh yes, and
3)We are taking a party of lovely festival-goers to Staithes one day that week!

On the other hand there are several angling boats running a ferry service as well, maybe they will get a taste for it, and run it onwards.
