good old speedferries have mailed us this week letting us know both or boats in and out are now cancelled.
Outbound not so bad as our 9:30 pm has been changed to 6:30 pm, not ideal for me but do-able, but our return on Monday has been swapped for tuesday!! Like i can swing an extra day away!! In discussions with the pirates to see what we can sort out.

What time on the Monday was your crossing?
This could really mess things up!

Their website suggests that the final crossing is not running at all through most of June.

Does this affect the July crossings from Poole?

You'll have to check with Brittany Ferries on that one.

Might have to borrow Mr Zarse's nuclear powered piss boiler after all then. Bastards.

Eh? ???
Speedferries don't sail from Poole. If you've booked Speedferries from Poole then I think you'd better make other arrangements sharpish :o

Yup you're right, having a welding gas induced memory lapse. Its Speedferries a month later for family hols. Its good ol Condor from Poole next month. Piss boiler no longer required.

Mine seems to have remained unchanged (at the moment) out on Thursday 10.45 and back Monday 20.50 I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I got the same- swithced to P&O for £35 return, similar sailing (deparure) and a refund promised as they cancelled. So actually saved a few beer tokens too!

They're a bunch of useless b*startds. I just bought a 10 ticket voucher because the late night outbound and return crossings in the summer mean I can go over to our place in Normandy for a weekend easily (out Friday night, back Sunday night) without taking time off work. Now the late crossings are 'subject to demand' which means I'm stuck paying £150+ a pop for Brittany Ferries or LD Lines instead.
