In Focus
The Renfrew to Yoker
ferry provides a passenger-only ferry service across the 200m wide
River Clyde between Renfrew on the
south bank and Yoker on the north bank. Since April 2010 the service has
been operated by Clyde Link. Ferries have been crossing the Clyde for
millennia. Opinions differ about the history of this route,
though by some accounts there was a ferry operating a little downstream
of the current crossing as early as 1614. ( More
