N L C    Summer Timetable Advance Information - Summer 2004

The usual general "after-season" refit will this winter include a major re-build, including complete replacement of the rear saloon structure on the upper deck of PS Concordia The revised target is for the paddle steamer to be back in service by Easter In these circumstances, it is expected the paddle steamer will again operate similar sailings to 2003 most of which were on a non-advertised basis except for sailings 20-45 on Thursdays in July and August 2003 Sadly, no work is scheduled to take place to PS Patria which now remains laid-up for over a decade Tenders have also been invited for the construction of a new 700 passenger motor vessel to enter service in 2005 This may well take over the heavily loaded 'full-length' sailings 10-47 most days (in particular Sundays) rather than using the paddle steamer which could well return to the 'traditional' 1990s situation when she was used primarily for Private Charter Sailings and the occasional Special Public Sailing In these circumstances, you are strongly advised to make the most of those sailings on offer during 2004   whilst you can !

If YOU can confirm or have any further information, please e-mail me and I will update this page for the benefit of other visitors
