Is it only Transmanche Ferries that operate the Newhaven- Dieppe route ? If so does anyone have any idea of prices timetables etc. Iv'e just  been on their website and they don't seem to want to give me any imfomation.

Keep off!  The other operator on that route is a well kept secret and should stay that way until I book my crossing!

The Transmache ferry site is truly awful and the ferries not much better.  They have run aground once, twice or more over the years.  Oh and not that long ago the guy steering one of them was pissed, and the result was it hit the wall at Dieppe, doing a fair amount of damage!

ps Hoverspeed is the other company on the route, and they usually release low fares in November

Should of known someone would give away the secret!

I'm led to belive the M.C.A are currently investigating the Transmarche ferry and believe this may explain their reluctance to except bookings too far in advance. They think the ship's not buggered enough!

Probably not a good choice of prices though

First we heard about it (along with the port it's self!) was on the evening news. I've heard they may also be doing a fast craft to caen next year. Now where did they get that idea from?
They (Britany f ) are apparently wanting 34 staff so we may be transfered by th 2pay scheme. Apparently that will meen we will not get redundancy payments and if we refuse we will be sacking our selves. Who knows.
There are also problems with britany taking over the Le Havre ship's charters before Jan so it's looking dodgy for the crews on those.

Ferries Schmerries, who needs 'em?
This sounds like a great excuse to cover yourself with goosefat and start that channel swimming training.
In fact, forget the swimming and let's just have a goosefat-partyyyyy!!

I rang Brittany today to find out if they had started to price up for the pilgrimage and they confirmed they were sending out the quotes by post to all on the waiting list.
I also rang P&O who confirmed the 2 routes mentioned in previous post will be taken on and honoured by P&O and to top it off i got the best quote for 8years off them for a Cherbourg return, i'm just gonna wait to see what cean by Brittany iss gonna damage the wallet.
good luck all.

I am led to believe that after the new route ideas coming out, it could be as late as the new year.

I havent checked yet, had a very important interview, and forgot completly about the Ferries.
