A review of the joint timetable, crew rota and passenger connection slips finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the ferry crossing between Vesperhold and Far Quay. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the two towns publish departure times from different clock boards.
The the joint timetable, crew rota and passenger connection slips lists 64 connections completed within the agreed transfer time; the previous window lists 58. Lucien Vale checked both against the original record checked against the date it was amended and used. The source was checked against a second copy held by Adrian Veil. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Each port says its departure time is locally correct. Travelers need a conversion on the shared board. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how a passenger can plan a transfer when the towns use different day boundaries.
The council records a decision for this window and its reason. The board recorded the outcome that it retained the current schedule and published the records supporting it.
