Better get the tunnel booked, with shortage of ferries prices will rise.

Sounds pretty bad. I presume the French government can't subsidise it directly (Is SNCF still nationally owned?), they would have P&O and Norfolk line on their necks if they did.
There is obvious overcapacity, and you wonder what will happen as people cut back on trips. But then again LD must feel confident that they can get some of the market, but it's very price-led, so if they don't offer competitive prices, they won't get customers.
GerryD has a point, and if you have already booked SF and it goes belly-up make sure you paid by credit card. Crying or Very sad

Oh great! We are booked on there for this Thursday, return in 3 Months. Looks like we'll have to worry about our return trip. It's something you just don't need when going away for a holiday. Is anyone else in the same predicament? We are booked through C.&CC club, so Iassume they will sort it out for us.

Well, I was going to book the Seafrance 3 return carnet to day.

Think I will give it a miss for now.

We're booked for early April, return late May and and also by the C&CC on a credit card. I'm not worrying at the moment as we are so flexible on dates and times and the other ferry companies are not full at these times.

By your return date things should be sorted out one way or another and the worst that could happen is that you might be asked to pay for your return on the dockside and claim it back later.

Thanks Grizzly, I've just checked with Carefree and they inform that they'll keep me up to date, and if need be we'll have to travel back with another company. So thats put my mind at rest. You know what it's like, the day before you're going, you get a bit anxious about things going wrong!!

Don't I just ! Been there, got the tee shirt !

Thanks for phoning. As said above, it only occurred to me when I'd sent my post that CC transactions under £100 are not covered. We've got a still-valid one year travel insurance but it's good to know that Carefree are on the case ! Oddly enough they phoned me earlier this morning to ask if there was anything else they could do for us.

Have a relaxed trip and hope all goes well.

Call me a cynic, but surely the French Government will simply ignore all anti-trust rules and EU regulations and bail them out anyway. That's what the French have always done, no matter how many protests from others
