I wasn't aware of that one. Just hope that over-stayers are discouraged. I wonder what will be moored at the old Vagabond mooring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's been mentioned where vagabond is heading and I'm not sure either that the new mooring's by the football ground as BA moorings they may well be council run , JP didn't state they were BA moorings he only said new moorings and it would have been in his interest to do so surely , besides by new read new timber's to the quay nothing else has happened .

You and me both , then again they are no where near there , they are much further down towards the rail bridge , don't expect them to be too quite either during the week as work has started on the next block if flats right along side them .

I confirmed with JP that the new moorings will be BA 24 hour monitored moorings although not BA maintained. Possibly 4-6 boats. I don’t think the BA have anything to do with the moorings near the Novisad, probably council monitored. I too hope nothing changes at that location, those shops are so handy.

Ah I didn't know that , yes let's hope that nothing changes by the novisad bridge as no one abuse's it other than one boat that's been left there , it's definitely council monitored though , I did hear a ranger a few yrs ago telling a hire boat crew they couldn't moor there and claiming they weren't insured if they did , ironically the ranger had moored the authorities YS boat there to refill the fuel tank at Morrison's , once it was clear to everyone who's land it was and they were both doing exactly the same thing the situation suddenly went away .

Oh yes there near the ground most definitely so within walking distance , that said it longer than it takes to get to Riverside , they are quite obvious from the river right next to a construction site , thinking about it it's not that long ago since the council insisted there were no mooring in the city except the YS , where in effect there are included 2 temporary demasting moorings opposite Riverside by bridge master court ie the first ie the new flats .

D46 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Interesting to note that vagabond is apparently going to the deal ground for repairs before going down the yare by it's new custodian , so how is it safe to move through the city ? , it's certainly reenforced my opinion that it's going just up the bure but we'll see no doubt .

Bytheriver Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Any technical people out there know if as the new trains on the London service have two pantographs unlike the current loco hauled trains they could get by without the bridge span being electrified ? Reedham & Somerleyton have had new electrical equipment fitted during the recent closure (and successfully opened to let the ferry through today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 According to the EDP website, they are hoping to move the vessel tonight, if the wind is not too strong for opening the bridges. Not sure I would want to risk that operation, on Friday the 13th! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Dear all, The planned escort of floating restaurant Vagabond has been re-arranged to take place tomorrow evening (13 March) as a result of today's 40mph winds making it unsafe to move the vessel. It is planned that the escort will take place from 11pm onwards into the early hours of Saturday morning (approximately 4am) where Vagabond will transit through Carrow and Trowse Bridges. Existing restrictions are in place during this new time period. Mariners are to consider the vessel’s movement when route planning and to follow all instructions given by the Broads Authority Rangers. Kind regards, Tom Tom Waterfall Senior Communications Officer Broads Authority 01603 756034 Broads Authority, Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road.
