The work to strip the old fenders and buffers is easy in comparison to the constructive work needed to replace them.
The workers have been told to get the job done before Sept 3rd, however they think that is hilarious. Another 6 weeks is the absolute best they can complete in, even if they work flat-out.
The replacement fenders are being made but will not even leave MP Marine depot in Cumbria before 3rd Sept.
I am telling you now that the chances of The Waverley docking at Llandudno Pier as scheduled is ZERO. It will not happen.
This is from those on site, and the Pier management too.
In fact it is rather cynical of the Waverley Company to have not yet refunded those passengers who have paid for tickets.
