    Interesting if Bob Goldfield quoted the figures you have placed above.

    DHB traffic statistics as quoted on their website show:
    Year 2010 compared with Year 2009
    RHV -9.1%
    Tourist Vehicles +1.6%

    For the first two months (Jan/Feb) 2011 compared with 2010:
    RHV -2.5%
    Tourist Vehicles -5.5%


    The COMBINED Dover and Eurotunnel figures show the following trend for 2010 v 2009
    RHV +3.6%
    Tourist Vehicles +5.4%

    In overall volume terms Dover is at around the 2005 level.

    Whilst the RHV (Tunnel and Dover) market has shown a growth for the first time since 2007 at 3.6% this is in fact just below 2007 (when it was 4.35% growth).

    This does beg the question when is T2 is "Commercially" required as larger (but fewer) vessels using Eastern Docks.Indeed "ship entries" at Eastern Docks in 2010 was down by 905 (-4.4%) on2009. The first two months of this year shows the "ship entries" down 5.2%
