Poole docks.

Had to pop into Poole docks this week. Been years since I was last there when it was a busy and thriving place. What a change, seems they have lost all there ferry services except a fast cat service to the Channel Islands. Only thing I couldn’t puzzle out was why there would be a lot of LKW Walter and Nolan transport trailers there if there is no ferry service. Is there a freight only boat or something ?.

They still do Poole to Cherbourg and Poole to St.Malo.

Poole st Malo ?
Poole Cherbourg is still running but under review. Poole Santander on Saturdays . And the channel island services.

Barfluer (Deal seaways) starts again end of February on a daily Poole - Cherbourg. I think the Cotentin (currently freight only poole - cherbourg / Poole - santander) is off somewhere else.
The fast cat is returning to Weymouth from a stint at poole in the summer.

There’s also a ferry every hour to Brownsea Island and one twice a day to Wareham, but they wouldn’t probably be of interest to anyone on here :wink:

According to another website you are a member of Derf, Cotentin is up for sale.

Edit, I see you have made a comment there already !
