Travel: Footsore ferry
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FERRY letters continue to arrive. Sylvia Oakey, of Cheltenham, complains about the way that ferry companies treat passengers without cars. 'My husband and I travel to Europe three or four times a year and always by train and ferry. In the past 20 years the service has become steadily worse for foot passengers. Every year we complain about the treatment at Dover, which is always dreadful and sometimes dangerous.
'If at all possible, we now go Jetfoil from Dover to Ostend. This is for discerning 'Footies' - we are looked after as human beings and not as cattle.'
