Late-night ferry stops Gosport-Portsmouth crossings

The ferry ran in the early hours of Saturdays and Sundays, after the Gosport Ferry stopped at midnight

A late-night ferry linking Portsmouth and Gosport is to stop operating.

The boat for foot passengers had run on Saturdays and Sundays, through the early hours, after the main Gosport Ferry stopped its service at midnight.

Gosport Ferry Ltd said it had been advised by D & P Boat Hire, which runs the late-night ferry, that its crossings would stop immediately.

It added there would be no late night services after midnight going forward from Friday, 14 February.

The Gosport Ferry runs a foot passenger service every 15 mins, seven days a week, between 0530 - 0000 between The Hard in Portsmouth and the Gosport pontoon.

The crossing takes about four minutes.
