Revised timetable for hovercraft

Hovertravel have really gone downhill since the takeover. Detrimental changes to season tickets, poor compensation system for cancelled services and increasing unreliability.

When you add these changes to the swingeing increases in car parking costs at pier road imposed by the Council, Hovertravel are becoming much less attractive as an alternative to Wightlink.

I think they still have the edge, but that is more to do with the even more dire reliability of the Wight Ryder craft than any effort by Hovertravel.
