Does anyone know of a bargain from Eurotunnel? I am not the best of sea-travellers however much of a bargain it is!!

Offer expired 30th September, but they've done the same offer a few times before, so I'm sure it will reappear. I used it earlier this year with the kids and we all enjoyed the adventure.

I went with Hoverspeed last time and I didn't like it at all. Although the crossing is fast they took FOREVER to load and unload the boat so the total trip time was way over P and O or Seafrance. The boat is little with a choppy ride and the bar and refreshments are poor. Eurotunnel is best, so fast, then Seafrance for good food and drink and a nice French attitude. P and O have great customer service for bookings etc and are smashing if you arrive early or late. I put Hoverspeed at the bottom of the pile: even at a great price like this I just wouldn't bother.

I think the Telegraph is doing a BOGOF on Eurotunnel at the moment

I wonder if the DAILY MIRROR still received the MONEY for the October 'Ad'


Hooverspeed gone out of business ... the OWNERS 'made up their mind' to cut their losses ... in spite of all tricks of the TRADE ...

1 Pound ads ... 870 numbers ... fastest xssing, with the longest wait 'ashore'


...shame ... But then again ... not really ....


P:S. Definitely a shame for the 160 + people they employed/ THEY lost their JOB ... on both sides of the 'consolidating channel' operations ... just in time for Xmas!

Is sailing for booze ... really the right thing ' underlying business proposition'?? hopefully just a passing fluke of some BRIT CULTURE ...
