Monday 9th January

Well after a few days of the Ardrossan to Brodick run, the LOTI has settled in well for it being her first time on the service.
She is coping fine with the loadings that are being presented and so far the weather has been reasonably kind to her, so with her doing so well could we see her back down next year??.
Well I hope so, she is the hard worked in the fleet and deserves a wee quiet spell!!
