Brittany ferries close some of it's routes from plymouth in the winter months when demand is low maybe p&o are doing the same

Tell me all about brittany ferries and plymouth. just had Bernie in our office telling us the price rises coming up, and we are now running the trucks from roscoff after deliveries to Cherbourg into poole ( and some of them are being stopped for a while soon then it will be portsmouth) then back into Devon, good for the fuel companies but not for the business and global warming etc
