THERE is set to be more disruption on the Yell Sound ferry service over the next three days.

It comes after the service ran with a single vessel yesterday (Monday), as well as two days last week.

Due to sickness and no certificated cover available, there will be a single vessel on the service again on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The 0615hrs, 0640hrs, 0705hrs and 0745hrs (0745hrs from Toft only) will sail as per the timetable each morning with bookings available.

From 7.50am to 5.30pm a shuttle service will operate, with bookings suspended.

Normal service will resume each evening at 5.35pm with bookings available.
