I bet they don't dare take it to Dover. Every bailliff for a hundred miles will be waiting

Speed One is currently at Tilbury.
The French court lifted the seizure order because Speedferries is in administration. For the same reason the vessel cannot currently be seized in the UK.

Speed One is currently at Tilbury...... Which if you drive is about 100 miles from Dover. The next announcement is due on 26th, which will be the 13th day (lucky for some) of the administration and a Wednesday |

Yep, although the boat was a bit downmarket I preferred it over the longer ferry crossings. Also Boulogne was that much closer to LM. I spoke to my credit card company yesterday, they said to do nothing until this announcement is made, then send them (snailmail) all receipts and evidence so they can process the claim. Discovered I have 6 tickets left out of 10 bought at the start of this year, so probably due for about £120. Bet that doesn't buy me 6 tickets on any of the others...  |

I've 4 left from 9 bought in 2007 (at £44 / crossing) so £176 owed. All evidence etc now printed out and on it's way to my card company.

LD Lines are very cheap though and are doing a Dover Bologne Sailing from July.
Bike tickets from £40.

A reminder that Sea France were doing very cheap crossings 2 or 3 weeks ago. With the demise of Speedferries they might not still be available though.
Don't forget eurotunnel are not yet running at anywhere near full capacity or speed, still repairing the fire damage.

On the credit card claiming front, I read something the other day (possibly on Moneysavingexpert.com or whatever it is called) saying that if what you bought was over £100 but made up of individual things under £100 (like 10 separate crossings) then the CC aren't liable.
Might be worth a little research if this affects you. Luckily although I got a batch of emails from Speedferry (it was never really ferries was it?) I of course didn't actually get my act together enough to book anything, plus our trailer was I think over their length limit so I didn't buy any.

LD lines are starting a new crossing from Dover to Dieppe soon as well as taking over the old Speedferries route to bolougne.

I have spoken to my contact in Bangalore and he is arranging for a claim form to be sent to me personally - at least I think that is what he said. F |
