That's tough, I really liked that service, but only used it once a year. It really was an easy way to get to the south west, board, park, drink, eat, drink, sleep and arrive...
I wonder how much the ferry operators needed to keep going.
Looks like the 2 areas where it operated may loose up to 50million per annum generated by tourism, now it's stopped.
Not to worry, in a few years time someone(politician) will come up with a brillant idea to create a ferry service, to re-generate the area as it's cost the UK billions in benefits.
