The timetable above is the one in force now and runs to 3 February 2027. The next edition has already been published and starts 1 October 2026; it replaces this table on that date, so what you see here is always the current season rather than a merged list of all of them.

Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
