Dover ferry service scrapped

The ferry service between Dover and Dieppe is being scrapped.

LD Lines introduced the service in February, using its traditional ferry Cote d’Albatre. But the company said that it had not attracted sufficient traffic to make it commercially viable, and the service will end on Monday.

It was the first time that Dover had been linked with Dieppe.

The ferry, which took four hours to make the crossing, made one return trip every night. It will continue to make two round trips to Boulogne every day. LD Lines also operates a fast ferry, the seacat Norman Arrow, on the Boulogne route, making four round trips a day.

    Where was the marketing? I never saw any advertising for this service! Nor, for that matter for any of the LD Lines services!

    Seems such a shame, but a little confusing.

    Everytime I have tried to book a crossing to Dieppe online, they were always fully booked.
