#News: Welcome To Dover Irish Ferries!

As you know I’m a ferry obsessive so I’ve been following with interest Irish Ferries plans to offer a Dover - Calais service, along with all the new services and boats on direct Ireland - France routes.

If anyone can pull this off it’s Irish Ferries. They REALLY know their business and thinking about it don’t really make mistakes. My prediction- they’ll succeed. I think the most likely scenario is just DFDS & Irish Ferries on this route eventually, few years maybe, P&O is on its arse and being squeezed by two of the best ferry companies in the world* will probably finish them off, despite their new pooling arrangement with DFDS.

So good luck Irish Ferries. Fly the Irish flag high! (And the Welsh* flag, Pembroke Dock was her 2nd home of course)

Service starts on 29th June

Pics from Dover Ferry Photos on Facebook, hope they don’t mind!

*Not to mention Cyprus 😂

Good solid reliable machine is Isle of Inishmore. Not flashy but very good

After most of her life on Pembroke Dock to Rosslare she finds herself here

*Yes I know Irish Ferries registered their vessels in Cyprus to take advantage of lower staff costs which was controversial at time but look at this way- would they be here now if not? An independent Irish ferry company? We don’t have a single U.K. owned ferry company in comparison.

#ThrowbackThursday; Where It All Began….

#ThrowbackThursday - So if you’ve followed me for long you will already know I’ve had a rather ridiculous career working for every man and his dog, driving everything from vans to rigids to artics to drawbars to buses and coaches. I’m really proud of my bonkers career, it’s been absolutely amazing! But, my driving career didn’t start on the road, it started on a landfill, in a Moxy! For pretty my whole childhood Dad was a mechanic who drove on the side. I used to spend lots of time with him, going away in lorries or spending the weekend with him in the workshop. One job he had was for a local plant hire company and this was one of the best as back in those days when no one really cared much about H&S, I got to drive and play with machines in the yard. It got to point where I could lift engines and axles etc with pinpoint precision with the mini digger, helping Pops. Can’t dig a hole to save my life tho! One day one of the bosses saw me gently lifting the engine back into a Mox...
