SAILINGS OFF

Fifteen sailings in each direction between Ardrossan and Belfast in June, July and Augst have been withdrawn by Burns & Laird Lines Ltd.

Ten of the departures from Ardrossan were timed for 7 pm at weekends, and the remainder were scheduled to leave at 10am on Sundays.

The company explains that present circumstances in Northern Ireland have led to a reduction in the number of passengers travelling to Belfast, particularly on holiday, and that those who had booked on the affected sailings will be accommodated on alternative sailings by mv "Lion."
