    Only one of the Torpoint Ferry service's three vessels is running on Wednesday morning because of a chain-wheel fault that occurred overnight, bosses say.

    Staff said they were "working very hard" to deal with the "very obscure fault".

    They added: "Despite putting as much resource and expertise onto its resolution as is possible, it is proving difficult to resolve."
