Just had a phonecall from my dealer to tell me about my dad's car. It hasn't been put on a ship yet. Apparently VW can leave it sitting at dockside for up to 10 working days before they'd escalate it as an issue, although he's received some cars lately which have literally been on a ship within 36 hours of leaving Wolfsburg. Hopefully it'll be on the next one. He was able to tell me that my car hasn't moved from BW33 and mcmaddy's has come back to BW34 from being at BW34 then shifting to BW35. It does seem that some forward movement can happen, but not by much.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Yeah, now that VW seem to have got their act together, I'm sure some forward and backward movement can be expected as they optimise their manufacturing logistics.  Really hoping my confirmed build doesn't slip back from week 32, but no guarantees!

So what kind of delivery date are you looking at now for your dad's car?

Depends on the ship it's on. Emden to Port of Tyne is around 24 hours judging by "city of Amsterdam" movements. Next ship from Emden to port of Tyne is "City of Rome", arriving at Emden tomorrow and expected at port of Tyne at midday on Friday. Could be Mon-Weds next week if it gets on that ship.

So, the next ship after "City of Rome" that is for Emden to port of Tyne? Unsure, I can only see scheduled arrivals/departures to 02 Jul and there are no more I can see in the schedule, so it'll be a wait if it's not on the next ship.

Strange !!!

My GTD should be getting built this week.

However, the tracker, now does not recognise my order number.

I have been checking all day and showed my order as confirmed bw, and now all of a sudden, it no longer sees my order number.

Hmm

Trackers not working for me either (BW38) - nothing to worry about as it seems to happen a lot - will recognise it again in a few hours

This seems to happen just before an update. Happenned to me last night and lo and behold this morning it had changed from build week confirmed to in transit. So fingers crossed, you might have an update tomorrow.
