Tunnel prices

[chaser]

I thought tunnel fares would have gone through the roof with this p&o job but I am thinking they have gone down, usually use Tesco vouchers so don't really take any notice but have just priced a couple of returns, one in July £266 and one in September £249.
As I said not really up in prices but they seem reasonable to me.
Anyone know different?

If that's for a return ticket ,looks to be a fair price.

If you can book far in advance still reasonable but nowhere near as good as the old Frequent Traveller prices, however try to book something with 3/4 weeks and the prices are eye watering at the moment.

On wonders if the tunnel is preparing to price the passenger ships out of the market and just leave them the freight.

Depending on what happens to P&O, will they get sued by the Government, will they be able to restart operations.

As all parties are well aware if P&O get away with it, then DFDS, Stena, etc. will be forced to follow suit and do the same thing and lay off all their crews and reemploy 2nd world crews at £1.81 per hour (and they do a 14 day shift!)

The tunnel may well be thinking if there is a summer of stoppages, strikes and unreliability over cars to the mainland by ship, then now is the time to start grabbing a share, which the ships will never get back.

Irish Ferries and FFDS ALready use cheap Labour. This has been the problem. P and O could not compete

It doesn't excuse what P&O management did, but cheap, 3rd world labour crews are pretty standard in the merchant shipping world. I suspect it won't be long before the P&O boats are back in service - they're unlikely to tie up 3 enormous and costly ferries for too long ...

I would not use anything but the tunnel to get across. Tried the ferry about 5 years back, bloody awful, never again. The prices are pretty good if you book in advance, even better with Tesco Clubcard. We get on, have a snooze for 20/30 mins then fresh to go!
