Tuesday ferries

[Gilles]

Was the Shuttle too much expensive that you always use ferries and not the tunnel?

[Simon (WRC GT4)]

I was quoted £605 to take a motorhome from Portmouth to LeHarve.
But only £268 from Portsmouth to Cherbourg......
Both are wednesday night crossings

You can guess which one i'm on  

[Barry]

Only used the shuttle twice and got badly delayed both times, not the magic it's advertised as, in my experience.

Gilles,
Tunnel is too far for us.plus the Motorhome runs on LPG so not allowed in tunnel

Powermite , I know its late, but I thought you were booked for Tues night , not Wednesday?

[Mark 2006 Lemons Gang]

All IMHO...

I suspect those booked on the overnight crossing get first refusal  

I also don't think they can refuse haulage as a lot of it would be perishable and they do make a lot of money that way and wouldn't want to p1$$ them off.

I also think when the BF girl said that "they'd fit them on some how" she was giving it the standard spiel unaware just how full the others would be and hence talking out of some other hole.

Hopefully everything will be running fine and we'll all get across. See you there PM & CP.

Mark - I hope if it's raining ( v.likely ) at Pompei like last year the nice BF folk wave me straight on

I think the prices also change a lot depending on the operator. BF is more expensive than P&O (for some reason...)

Im in a 50/50 on the seacat weds.
I agree with Barry, as i am on a bike, they can make room in a motorhome or caravan to get me there.
 bloody ferry co's have us over a barrel already. £120 - £180 for a motorbike.  3rd price of motorhome PM!!
I'm revved up now!!

From P & O website:

The scheduled 1630 hours arrival from Bilbao(10/6)is now due at 1715 hours.
All other sailings are running to schedule.

Thats got to be worrying for some

[The Planman]

If it helps - the port of St Malo seems unaffected  by this stirke action - Doesn't a Brittany Ferries overnighter leave from Portsmouth to St Malo?

We leave Wednesday, all-be-it from Jersey to St Malo, and I've just checked with our ferry company and they are sailing happy as Larry today and tomorrow!    This info incase a plan C needs to be looked into    Best of luck any way!!

Thanks for that info Planman, could prove to be usefull, now where's my map book.

[powermite]

Spoken to Brittany ferries and they said that at the moment all ferries were still running tomorrow.I asked ,if the day ferry was cancelled,what would happen to the night passengers.They told me that whichever ferry you are booked on will be the one you go on.If your ferry is cancelled,then they will offer a refund or try to find you another crossing,but those booked on the next ferry after the cancelled one will take preference.
Hope this helps
