Caledonian

MV Caledonian Isles has been unable to carry passengers since January 2024 due to a series of faults that have cost nearly £11m to fix.

CalMac said it would now be Tuesday at the earliest before Caledonian Isles could return but sailings from Troon would still be available in the meantime.

MV Caledonian Isles was initially taken out of service in January last year after routine annual maintenance revealed serious steel corrosion.

Moves to reopen the cinema began when the building's owners, Caledonian Heritable, agreed to lease the building back as a modern cinema space for a minimum period of 25 years, with a new lease being signed in July 2024.

Passengers waiting overnight on the Caledonian Sleeper service were told in the early hours of the morning that they had still not left Glasgow Central because a tree had come down on the line.
