Oh ye of little faith!

[Clare Comrie]

We will hopefully have some sort of competition for the Brittany Ferries monopoly!

Join the campaign to support Flybe in their efforts by lobbying the Cherbourg Chamber of Commerce & Cherbourg Airport!

 

If any of you are interested in joining the support campaign, and Flybe has asked that we continue to lobby, send the following piece to Chamber of Commerce & Maupertus. It just says:

 "We have learnt that you are in negociation with Flybe to reintroduce the Southampton/Cherbourg service, we greatly appreciate the efforts to bring the service back. We also think that the service is very important both for tourism and trade"

 

Nous avons appris que vous êtes en négociation avec Flybe pour rétablir le service entre Southampton et Cherbourg, nous aprecions beaucoup vos effort pour rétablir cette service. Et aussi ce service sera très important pour le tourisme et les échange commerciaux.

Hello Clare,

 

We are evaluating a possible reinstatement of the Cherbourg - Southampton service from May next year. The issues being costs (as always!) and facilities at Cherbourg. We will probably make our decision around Christmas, if all goes well.

 

Best regards

This is good news for everyone who is looking to see some competition. I heard ages ago that Richard Branson was considering introducing a new ferry service on the Western Channel - was that just wild speculation or based on anything more tangible?
