I went to cross woodland ferry the other day after checking in with the website bragging that the new one was installed, ribbon cutting done, and a go on Oct 31st. NOPE, Closed!
What's up with that?

Nice that they give us 2 days notice that it will be closed for 2 months!

While it will still be a pain in the A**, I suppose it makes better sense to take it out now rather than wait until summer like they did with Whitehaven ferry a year ago. Idiots !!!
