How do I know whether to use the Laxo or Vidlin Terminals for the Whalsay Service?
In clement weather, the service is most likely to be operating from Laxo. It takes about 5 minutes to drive the extra distance from Laxo to Vidlin, with the sea crossing taking 10 to 15 miuntes longer. Details of which terminal is in use is displayed on electronic message boards at the Laxo terminal entrance and at the three Whalsay route terminals. Voicebank updates reagrding route information are available, 24 hours a day, on 01595 743973.
