savoirflair Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi, we are currently booked overnight tonight on Britanny Ferries Portsmouth-Caen, planning to drive down in one day on Thursday to the Languedoc.Having just seen in the news about the strike tomorrow, we are worried that we will have problems getting fuel.Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether the motorway services would be affected? (the news says that supermarkets, and presumably their petrol stations will be closed).We are thinking maybe we should try and switch to a day later if possible - but then there might be problems with the ferry crossing!Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I would doubt that fuel will be a problem (provided you have a card)Details of the action HERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sorry to hijack this thread but have just been told by Brittany ferries to allow more time to arrive at Caen tomorrow morning (I'm crossing at 08.00). I asked her to be more specific about perceived problems, but she wouldn't be drawn. I'm travelling with an aged P from about 90 minutes away and am now very concerned about disruption. Can anyone give me any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Judie - according to this, who are not proposing to meet up until 10am tomorrow, I would have thought you just might miss the action if you aim to arrive at Ouisterham at 7h or 7h30 ish. The main start time seems to be 8am.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Last Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Probably not a bad idea to fill up immediately before you get on the ferry..... I just filled up at our local Intermarche fuel station as we plan a long journey tomorrow, & the girl there said they would be as normal - but it's probably very much a local decision? I am more concerned to find out if there are plans to shut/block access to the autoroutes but can't find anything so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judie Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks to those who have replied. I've filled up with fuel and we are getting up REALLY early to avoid any possible delay. What an adventure!!!![:-))][:-))][:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Feel free to wave to P as you drive out from the boat in Portsmouth, Judie. He'll be coming in this direction tomorrow afternoon... we hope! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
