The post you are reporting:
I have in front of me the Strategic REview of the port of Dover 2009,also with that I have the DHB Corporate Structure for the Port of Dover,2009, and the DHB plans on the next generation ferry terminal 2. I also have the same for 2008,2007,2006.
on the 2009 they have the forcasts of the traffic Growth and they put that at going up each year, but what we see at the port ferry companys pulling out that means there is not the trade for them all, I do not agree with their Traffic Growth,with the cost of fuel going up and up, I think the Growth will go down in real terms .
We already hear of more train companys going to use the Railway tunnel,that means less trade for Dover ,+what I see is more goods trains also useing the railway making a very big fuel saving,the trains can load up in the UK and take the goods right across the whole of the continent and the same with tourist,and passengers,and they will hire cars when they get to where they are going,we are seeing that happing now in just the UK Tourist are going round by air,train,bus and when there get there they hire a bus.
there is already talk about a new tunnel being build we will end up just like the Darford crossing,and the D,H,B, also see it this way and their members want to get out.
