Lady Class Ferries To Be Retired This Year

Monday 1st February 2016

A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month! Lol

Hey all and welcome to another STV Blog.

Today i want to talk about the Lady Class Ferries that run in and around Sydney.

For those who don't know what they look like there is a photo below.


We have 2 Lady Class Ferries in service.
Lady Northcott (as shown in the photo above) & Lady Herron.
These two ferries will be retired this year and will be replaced with six brand new state of the art ferries.

The Following info is open for correction however im quite sure it's correct.

Lady Northcott entered service in 1974.
Lady Herron entered service in 1979.

I'd suggest that all transport enthusiasts take a ride on these ferries and get as many photo's as possible before it's too late.

Thank you all for reading!
Stay tuned for more Blogs.
