Chains are being removed tomorrow (Wednesday Morning) in readyness for the barge to push it to Oulton Broad.

Thanks for the headsup Howard.   When will it be back in business again please,  anyone got any thoughts on that one.

Bit of an open ended question, according to The Ferry Inn’s post on FB.  The ferry itself is being taken to Oulton Broad somewhere for refurbishment.  The timescale is dependent on how much work is required when it’s been inspected.

Its usually about a month, give or take. It is being taken to Suffolk....!

It would be two months plus if it was going to Norfolk...

[NorfolkNog]

The works are expected to take five to six weeks

According to the EDP...........

Three weeks estimate now to carry out works but not including the return trip I assume

Just seen on Facebook that the Reedham Ferry is back and operating again. The AA road signs won't be taken down until Monday, but it is running now.

Oh good that means we can have a trip over to Reedham again.
