LD Lines Dover Boulgne

You may not have a very comfortable night though; the Côte d'Albatre which this winter is the only ship on the long route (I presume you mean Portsmouth-Le Havre?) has very few cabins, no sleeper seats, and most of the reclining seats are in open-plan areas.

Ive just used the Norman Arrow back from Boulogne this afternoon and was very impressed with it.

Talking to one of the stewards, (ex Speedferries, as are a lot of the crew apparently) he says the boat is to be laid up over winter and will start on the Portsmouth/Le Havre route in March. Seems the crew are being asked to move to Portsmouth and are uncertain of their job prospects.

He suggested emailing LD if you want the boat to return to the Dover route as he reckons enough user pressure may well make LD think again.  It seems that the reason it is being moved is because it cannot carry enough freight traffic which is where the money is made.
