Ferry Rosyth-Zeebrugge-Rosyth?

[JMGS4]

Anyone been on this one yet? Any comments? It seems to be MUCH more expensive than even the 3-4 hour longer drive via Hull???

5 hours Edinburgh to Hull last time I tried it.

and an extra tank of fuel.. How much is the rosyth ferry?? - didn't think it had started yet, noticed the signs to the port went up last week.

Haven't tried it yet - but looking forward to it - www.superfast.com - A damn site more convenient for me (40 mins away) than Newcastle or Hull, and brand new - a huge difference hopefully from the shit box (apologies for the vernacular) that has been the Hull vessel - Le Mans trip two years ago was made complete by the tone-deaf emaciated 70's-white-suited piano player......

supposed to start in May, but nothing on their site to say that they haven't started, so i assumed........ they're running. Seems about £200 more expensive (roundtrip) than the Northsea ferries tubs buying it here from the continent without the Daily Wail special offers

Been various delays i gather - not sure about the current status - friends of mine have been involved in the software side.... all a bit hectic trying to get the thing up and running apparently - I'll ask the question though...

According to this press release www.superfast.com/Scotland/English/Press/sen_press_releases02_view.asp it opens in two days time (May 17th).....

Going for the cheapest of the cheep (have to, I'm a student just now), they seem much of a muchness. Definatly going to be easier from the driving perspective. - If only I could aford that Le-Mans trip.. Next year I suppose. - might have a reliable set of wheels by then. Will hopefully be in the market for a 2 litre non-turbo (insurance!!) Impreza or similar in about 3 months time.
