MrCanary Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have used Transmanche Ferries for a few years now and have always been very happy with the service provided - until...Until they linked themselves up with LD Lines and now regular mistakes (most commonly duplicate charging) are becoming the norm.Has anybody else noticed this?

Théière Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 duplicate charging? they charge you to use their copier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well obviously Transmarche are charging you and so are LD Lines - sorry, not helpful, I'll go stand in the corner for a bit.I saw for the first time yesterday that LD Lines are doing Dover - Boulogne. How long has that been going then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 A couple of months now PierreZFP, and all being well I shall be on the Monday or Tuesday sailing [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi Pierre - that route is Transmanche with the booking service provided by LD Lines. There is the one Transmanche ship doing two or three trips back and forth between Dover and Boulogne and then the same ship does one overnight run to Dieppe and back...

Pierre ZFP Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ahhhh that would explain the odd sailing times, thanks for the clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I used it very recently and it was quite a good service and a good price, not as fast or frequent as Speedferries of course and using one of the old Transmanche boats but it was definitely 100% LDlines.IMO an improvement on Transmanche but then we are not comparing apples with apples.

sheldonrobbo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi MelHave used transmanche regularly for several years now and have found everything has improved since LD took control. Are you booking direct or using an agent?sheldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 No - not through an agent - direct. The mistakes seem to occur if I make (and pay for) any changes to the original booking... But having said that, I am still happy with the actual service Transmanche provide. (And the ship used on the Dover routes is not an old one, it was launched in 2006...)
