not sure how this would work in practice but i have a gut feeling that it wouldn't be good for anyone other than eurotunnel.

perhaps if they make a go of it they could then look at Dover

Perhaps if they hadnt had in excess of 50% of their debt written off in 2005/6 ...

ps.it looks like p&o might get the hump if eurotunnel gets it.

howard,our mp and ld linds wanted those ferrys.they seem to be upset that eurotunnel have purchesed 3 of the 4 ferrys.stating that it would drive prices up,i cant see it my self,whats happend to fair compition and redundent french workers making a go of it.if ld lines brought the 3 ferrys they would have a monopoly on the short routr along with p&o,which would seem to unfair,with the companys driving prices up.in short a cartel.
