When the e-flexer arrives, but Cap on Poole - Spain permanently, put Pont on Plymouth - Spain permanently, Put E-Flexer on Portsmouth - Spain permanently, and bin Pelican and the whole economie brand also? Cap's too long for Poole. BF aren't planning to reduce their Spanish sailings from four ships to three, they probably want five. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khaines Report post Posted April 20, 2018 Will the Deo Volente use that quay now then - she gets quite an audience where she presently loads/offloads, enjoy watching her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I said permanently, I meant full time. BDS, and Pont do other sailings at the minute. I was implying that they literally just carve Spain and back and nowhere else. If Ponty did Plymouth - Santander full time she could easily get upto 3 rotations in per week - which would rock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But PA has to do Ireland as well. Going back to the old timetable would perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the yellow bus the other week after getting off Libby. (Had a couple of spins on her recently while we have had the nice weather) New arrival is that bus, never seen it before, wondered why there was one of the local yellow buses by the gangway!

Khaines Report post Posted August 27, 2018 Shieldhall will be around for the week for the Air Festival and have heard that tomorrow she will sound her whistles and have a horn battle with the other vessels in the port. Barfleur and Libby won’t be there to contribute theirs though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ac_freeman Report post Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks - just returned from another of my ferry "jaunts", this was a first ......Barfleur Poole to Cherbourg on Monday, connecting to Oscar Wilde Cherbourg to Rosslare Monday afternoon, returning directly back to Cherbourg from Rosslare on Tuesday and spending the day in Cherbourg yesterday waiting for a return on a fully booked Barfleur back to Poole. On Monday we drove to the gangway in one of the old yellow buses, but last night we were met by a blue "bendy bus".
