When I last used the ferries frequently there were three boats, and
therefore always at least one parked.

(Called John Burns, Ernest Bevin and James Newman as I recall.)

It's correct that there are three boats, but to say "just to the west
of the ferry, close to where the spare boat is kept when a single boat
service is operating" is also correct! The normal weekday service is
provided by two boats, with the third undergoing maintenance and tied
up next to the workshops EAST of the ferry. When only one boat is
operated, usually on Sundays, the spare operational boat is moored in
the river just WEST of the ferry terminal.

For some reason I can't remember anything ever being parked to the
east, but it could be either that my memory is no good after twenty
years or that they have changed.
