    It's an expensive route to operate cannot compete on equal terms with the Dover-Calais route or the tunnel because it cannot take freight - the life-blood of the other operators whether they'll admit it or not. Bolougne cannot take the bigger ships used on the other routes either, or so I understand.

    In many respects Bolougne has never been an ideal port for the channel hopper, except to visit Bolougne itself, because it doesn't have the easy access to the motorway that Dunkerque, Calais or the Channel Tunnel have.

    Frankly I was quite surprised when the Dover-Bolougne route was resurected in the first place.
