What clever plan have they got? Utilising the aditional sailings the Nordica would provide for Sail & Rail / foot passengers? Surely they could have done this a long time ago if they'd really wanted to.

I've spent quite a lot of time trading emails and meeting people behind SailRail to get to the bottom of the issues
The Nordica is out as it passengers capacity at 405 is barely sufficient to cope with motorists, there is no room left for foot passengers. Need to replace the ship, not likely until 2013 at earliest
HSS operates to meet seasonal demand, it has been indicated in meetings that if demand is proven extra sailings could be provided, again this goes back to the lack of prior knowledge of SailRail tickets issued and the lack of a solid booking system to support it.
