Tony Jones Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 And on the news today, we also heard that DFDS & LD are planning to lauch a new company to run Dover/Calais ferries too. So there should be a fair bit of competition this year - I'm almost regretting that I've laready booked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The last paragraph is interesting, it says "we are not worried about competition," In light of Tony's post I think I would be re phrasing that. It goes on to say they will use ex Sea France staff to re launch the line, (If DFDS & LD line have not taken them on before hand) and increase prices, this sounds like the line we will all be rushing to use.. It gets better by saying. "In recent years Sea France only survived because due to the very low and aggressive pricing." I'm sure I read it somewhere that Sea France didn't survive. Oh well, we will wait and see. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I recon they'll move all the ex sea france ships into Dover harbour entrance and scuttle them there. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
