Channel Island ferry relocated to Poole 'for time being'

A ferry which connects Dorset to the Channel Islands will continue to sail from Poole "until further notice", its operator has said.

Condor Ferries relocated the sailings from Weymouth in February while repairs were carried out on a ferry berth.

The operator previously said it hoped to resume normal services at Weymouth at the end of March.

Weymouth and Portland Borough Council said interim remedial works to the berth had been unsuccessful.

Condor said passengers with existing bookings would be notified in writing of changes to their journeys and services would continue to sail from Poole throughout the summer.
