Windermere Ferry will not be in operation from Monday 9 – Friday 13 March whilst essential maintenance to the gear box and drive shafts is carried out. This entails manufacturing several bespoke items due to the age of the ferry.
A spokesperson from Cumbria County Council said:
"Every effort will be made to ensure the work is completed on time, however due to the nature of what is required there is the potential for it overrunning into the weekend.
"Daily progress updates will be provided on social media.
"We're sorry for the short notice, however due to the high lake levels we were unable to confirm the timescales for this work any sooner than this. Thank you in advance for your understanding."
