It's only a two-week trial.

Had a go today . Had to wait 1 hour at each end to get on though  But they said they are going to introduce two hovercrafts which would be 300 seaters once the service becomes full time . The Kirkcaldy waiting side is far better though as the toilets are within the waiting area ( car park ) whereas in Portobello you couldn't go to the toilet once you entered the waiting area ! Will post some pics up at some point  Oh and they also provide a free bus to Ocean Terminal and Waverley . I took the Ocean Terminal and was there in ten minutes |

We got there for the 2 oclock crossing and were told we wouldn't get on til 4! And that it was just as bad at the Edinburgh side so we just left as it was raining. |

Im going on it tomorrow. Pre-booked so should be ok. It's all fully-booked now anyway. I heard a rumour they have already decided to keep it going and have bought 2 of them.

A Stagecoach bus driver told me they were extending the trial period for another week, but I've not heard anything.
I think it's a bit stupid that they're calling the trial a success anyway, because basically the reason for its popularity is people thinking, "Ooh, a hovercraft. I'm going to have a shot on that!"
