Mind, IoMG and the SPCo do provenly have a very generous outlook when it comes to PP. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it's not even their own. And even more especially when it belongs to PP. The Steamie stumped up for repairs to the PP Liverpool landing stage a couple of years ago IIRC, on the grounds that they were the only user? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De nada Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Long trip Wednesday, 22 January 2020 Douglas Departed at: 08:36 - Ben-my-Chree Heysham Delayed: 12:21 Dense fog had caused delay to the arrival of the Ben-my-Chree into Heysham Port this afternoon. Unfortunately due to tidal restrictions at the port after 14:30hrs, the Master of the vessel has no alternative but to return to Douglas, the estimated time of arrival into Douglas is 17:30hrs.

John Wright Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I see Brittany Ferries are moving their Ireland Spain route from Cork Ringaskiddy - Santander to Rosslare - Bilbao. For me that saves even more driving time than going via Portsmouth or Plymouth. Sail to Dublin, 2 hours to Wexford, and it’s 90 minutes less driving in Spain as well. Just need an improved Dublin service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 This is the longest interruption to service I can remember since 1979. Yes the 20.00 on Sunday and 02.15 on Monday sailed. Paul got away and is just setting off from Calais to Basel, his halfway point. Only one boat each way since Saturday. And later today and tomorrow morning don’t look promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
