Red Fail

A place to collect the numerous failures of Red Funnel, from bad customer service to broken boats.

[Ian Dickens @readthesky]

Beyond a joke, especially when Red Funnel CEO claims it’s her companies priority to serve the Island. Cancellation not listed on website. @richardquigley @Redfail @RedFunnelFerry @iwcponline

[Red Fail @Redfail]

This is what we need. A government that will take these companies to task on their service and costs.

@IWCanDepress We’ll quite happily yeet him into the sea.

He’s unlikely to hit any passing Red Jet/ Funnels.

[Red Fail @Redfail]

Heard a family were quoted £450 by the ferry companies to bring their car and family to the Isle of Wight.

So they went to France instead.

Imagine all of the money they’d have spent in local shops and restaurants.

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

And here we go again! @RedFunnelFerry incompetence to run a regular service.

6.45 red jet cancelled, I’ll get the 5.00 car ferry….or maybe not. @RedFunnelFerry cancellations again! @Redfail @iwcponline @solentaction @IoWBobSeely

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

@RichardQuigle18 I'll take nationalised ferries! Good idea. Privatised transport only serves to make a mint for the rich whilst failing the public.

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

And so it continues. @RedFunnelFerry
@IoWBobSeely shouldn’t our MP be looking in to this? @Redfail @iwcponline @solentaction

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

Wow….the @RedFunnelFerry service couldn’t get much worse. £3,000 on my season ticket well spent 🤦🏻‍♂️ surely our MP should be doing more on this?! @IoWBobSeely @RichardQuigle18 @Redfail @redjets @iwcponline

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

@RedFunnelFerry what’s going on? Increasing prices yet can’t run a regular service. I am genuinely interested how you justify over £3,000 for my season ticket with this type of service. @Redfail @iwcponline @solentaction @IoWBobSeely @RichardQuigle18

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

Oh the joys of paying over £3,000 for a season ticket for @RedFunnelFerry
Another day, another cancellation and another excuse.
I’m no expert but these ferries don’t seem fit for purpose. @Redfail @iwcponline @solentaction @IoWBobSeely

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

🤦🏻‍♂️ @RedFunnelFerry how can you get it so wrong so consistently

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

Another day another cancellation on @RedFunnelFerry. Season ticket price increased yet not had a week without cancellations for some time

[Red Fail @Redfail]

@RedfunnelC @RedFunnelFerry @solentaction @iwcponline @IoWBobSeely @RichardQuigle18 Discarded and forgotten.

The Isle of Wight Tax increases with every ticket price increase and every failure to deliver a service.

[RF Service News @RF_Travel_News]

06:05 from Southampton and 06:40 from Cowes cancelled due to RJ6 operating limitations due to obstruction in the inner stbd jet unit. We apologise for any inconvenience to your journey.

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

Increased season ticket prices, yet I can’t get to work on time again. @RedFunnelFerry it would be interesting to know your justification for raising prices, yet reducing services. @Redfail @iwcponline @solentaction @RichardQuigle18 @IoWBobSeely

[Ian Dickens @readthesky]

Excited grandkids arrived for todays midday sailing. Cancelled (with no notification to the paying customer). Told to wait for the 13.30 by RF staff (which is showing cancelled on the RF website) This shambles lets down the Island @Redfail @RedFunnelFerry @red_ferries @bobseely

[Redfunnel Commuter @RedfunnelC]

Increased season ticket prices on @RedFunnelFerry must mean a more reliable services……oh wait

@IoWBobSeely @RedFunnelFerry @Redfail @solentaction

[Red Fail @Redfail]

As usual, the boat can’t boat.

[RF Service News @RF_Travel_News]

Red Jet 06:05 from Southampton and 06:40 from Cowes cancelled due to a technical issue with the Starboard Inner Engine on Red Jet 6. We apologise for any inconvenience to your journey.
