davenewellhome Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 As I understood it from the news bulletin DFDS are stopping their Newcastle to Norway service entirely! Mind you I could have misheard it as I was busy but they definitely said three hundred jobs would be lost. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malc d Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 First went on that crossing in 1971. Drove my 3 week old VW Beetle up to Newcastle ( + tent ) and when we got there we found the ferry was crane loaded ! :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob b Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The recent increases in the price of fuel was probably the last straw for an underused service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
