This site has been created from scratch. Whilst much of the basic information contained herein could be found by studying and translating timetables issued by the various companies, I have set out to present the timetables of the sailings on all lakes in English in a consistant simplified form They will normally be available for historical reference after expiry of official publicity - please e-mail me if you are unable to find any particular timetable or you find any link not working (note: many old timetables were 'lost' when my webhost's server crashed some years ago and I have not had the time to re-create them all - any specific ones you request I will attempt to restore as long as I still have the information or if you can supply the details) The timetables on this site normally only show the public regular and special sailings planned to be operated by paddle steamers (PSs) (or - if I have been advised - day to day variations and/or what actully happened on the day) [Note:- in the cases of Lake Geneva and Lake Garda, they also include those sailings operated by the operational motor paddle vessel (MPVs) $] Sailings operated by a motor vessel are normally only shown when they deputise for a paddle steamer - or when a paddle steamer may cover on certain dates $ - on Lake Geneva (MPV Helvétie and MPV Italie have been 'long-term' laid-up since In order to further simplify presentation, timetables are split into limited dates to obviate (a) the wavy lines - also other irritating notes which are so common in most official timetables (sometimes only in the 'local' language) (b) a single multi-coloured column - where only part(s) of the sailing apply on some dates |
basic sailings will only be posted if you advised me accordingly
