I went for a day trip 12 months ago and said I wanted to take the kids for longer. As BF haven’t got their backsides organised to have schedules and bookings available in a reasonable advance time, may as well give it a go.

We’ve booked a Parkdean on Isle of Wight instead of a Eurocamp now. Need to budget and no idea of ferry costing to gamble on. Euro camp were offering only Eurostar and Dover for Brittany holidays as option, presumably costing BF bookings by late release!

It was a story recently told be a crew member at an after dinner speech and some media picked up. The event happened years ago apparently.

Breaks with limited facilities at work are when I’m most likely to pop on here for a browse to pass the time.

The port was closed to all shipping. It wasn’t a problem unique to Armorique

Plymouth live reporting a propulsion issue on PA so Armorique is off to Cork again this weekend

How about 3 options, may/corbyn no deal remain. If may/corbyn/ no have over 50% it tells us to proceed with leaving on the biggest scoring of those two options?

PLA is far too recent for them. They regularly use a photo of the Tamar bridge pre cantilevers to illustrate traffic jams or incidents on the bridge.

It’s got me wondering if there is some form of agreement or partnership in the making.

The Plymouth Heralds coverage of the protest made me smile. https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/local-news/brexit-ferry-protest-plymouth-no-2677855

Even under UK rules public funded subsidies aren’t allowed when there is a fully commercial competitor. Assuming said rule applies to ferries as it does every other industry.

I haven’t voted nor seen the thread until now, but greyed out suggesting I’ve voted. Is there a software bug? Anyway are we talking economically or just fantasy? It will make no economical sense, and like the bus industry in most areas any competition would be commercial suicide.

If you’ve got a railcard, it’s certainly cheaper to buy a rail ticket Portsmouth & Southsea to Ryde Esplanade than just the ferry return, anytime day single is £11.10 and anytime day return is £14.45 with railcard discount.

Apparently it’s a franchise commitment to install them (but nothing about using them), The railway company has said they won’t be operational until a plan is in place for ferry passengers to have free movement.

I’ve heard from local sources, albeit none formally verified that a small craft ran across her bow and she had to take avoiding action,
