Following successful "after dark" running trials, the timetable on the Corran Ferry between Ardgour and Nether Lochaber is being extended with effect from Monday 1 November.
The timetable will be:-
Sunday 31 October: First sailing Ardgour 8.30am (normal timetable); last sailing Nether Lochaber 6pm (as previously publicised)
Thereafter Mondays to Saturdays: First sailing Ardgour 7am; last sailing Nether Lochaber 7pm

All times are subject to favourable weather for operation from the temporary floating pier, which has been installed at Nether Lochaber while the slipway there is refurbished.
The timetable will remain in place until the works are completed.
The contract is being carried out for The Highland Council by George Leslie Ltd.
Between now and Monday 1 November the ferry will operate (Monday - Saturday) between 8 am (from Ardgour) and 6 pm (from Nether Lochaber).
Council Leader Michael Foxley said: "I am pleased that the trials have proved successful and we are able to extend the operating hours of the ferry. The Council once again wishes to thank users of the ferry for their co-operation and understanding during these essential improvements to the Nether Lochaber slipway."
