TOILET troubles have resulted in Red Funnel cancelling two of its sailings.

The cross-Solent carrier has cancelled its 12 noon vehicle ferry sailing from Southampton to East Cowes today (Sunday, July 28) and the 1.30pm sailing from East Cowes.

Red Funnel has blamed the technical problem on a failure in the sewage system, onboard the Red Eagle.

The Red Eagle has been beset with technical problems a number of times in recent months — and it's not the first time the ferry has had sewage issues, the most recent being in February. 

The company says it apologises for any inconvenience to your journey, if affected.

UPDATE 2.40pm: Red Funnel has also cancelled the 3pm from Southampton and the 4.30pm from East Cowes as the company continues work to repair the sewage system on the Red Eagle.

UPDATE 4.45pm: It appears the problem has now been fixed, with services now running to time.
