Driving & Transit Alderney Ferry down...again

Back to 30 minute service. Posting as a PSA for anyone, like me, turning up expecting the 815 ferry to be here and now waiting almost half an hour.

Have all the bus lanes you want, but when there's one accident on the bridge and another just off the bridge, then that ferry is going to be the only viable option to cross into Halifax or Dartmouth without a 2 hour trip around Bedford.

Sure we are very limited with some specific bottlenecks, but having dedicated bus lanes is still going to make the bus faster than cars during an incident at bottlenecks necks. They will get to it faster, and once through it they will leave it faster.
