Okay so their fleet isn't brand new.

 

[Paul G (BHT)]

The old P&O 'Butlins Boat to Bilbao' was bad enough and full of Chavs.... even att complained about the noise when we were on it

With these prices the Norman Asturias will be full of the great unwashed

If it's blowing a gale in the Bay of Biscay - give me the Pont Aven any day

That 24 hours in comfort down to Spain is the making of any holiday

 

[Mistacat]

I Agree, I just hope the gale stops soon as we are on the Pont Aven on Tuesday heading for a week in the Picos.

 

[Peirre O`Bollox]

Can anyone confirm that there is provision on the new LD lines route for motorcycles?
As I`m unable to get a price for next year, and reading posted on other forums, it seems motorcycles are not catered for, and LD are not responding to my emails

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

I think prices only run until the end of 2013 & 2014 prices will be issued in Jan

I can go on my bike this week - try a trial booking for nov 2013

 

[daesimps]

I did a quote the other day for a bike and it gave me a figure. Couldn't get car or bike too far into next year - I presume they haven't worked the schedule out that far yet.

I spoke to Ld lines on Thursday and was told they would have the 2014 timetable in a cpl of weeks for the Santander to Poole run.

Sounds perfect, may keep Brittany prices down a shade - and remove the Chavs from my sailing

Price I got on their trial schedule with bike and a recliner each way was 160 return ---- too much to hope for June time, but even still got to be better than 390 from brittany9recliner 1 way cabin going out)

i bet it isn't.


and i wouldn't even go on BF without a cabin both ways.

 

[Hairnet600]

id rather save 200 quid and put up with a bit of discomfort

160 ret is massively cheap

 

[cookie]

i admire your fortitude


...and it's a shitload of discomfort

+1. No cabin, no go.

+1. No cabin, no go.

R

+2. ..... and preferably a cabin to ones self.

 

[corky]

If your camping at the other end, the floor around the recliner is usually as good as any campsite, would much prefer a cabin but at the cost--not an option----at least at standard rates.
