OV9

There used to be a Newcastle - Stavanger ferry. Think they stopped doing that service about five years ago. There was also a Harwich - Esbjerg ferry, which I think stopped running around the same time.

Guess it's a consequence of cheap flights. I know Stena line were not making much money out of the Harwich - Hoek Van Holland service a few years back. Not sure if are turning a decent profit now.

I remember being told by a Norwegian person that they see far fewer Brits touring Norway now. There is talk of bringing a ferry service back, but I can't see that happening while flights are still cheap.

Not watched the videos yet but just finished reading the OV9 new Ford GT article from a few months ago where they visited Arctic Circle Raceway.

I would like to go back to Norway but this time includes a track day at ACR, then to Arctic Circle then head east then south east and do a loop to head to St Petersburg.

Watched part 2 last night, what a brilliant trip.

Slightly depressing there is no ferry to Oslo as I'd love to do this trip but the slog through the Benelux countries & Denmark makes it into double the proposition from a time and mileage perspective.

Doesn’t the Immingham - Brevik line still run? Did Immingham - Gothenburg years ago.

Don't think so. I looked maybe a year ago and there was nothing. My family is up in East Yorkshire so Immingham would've been ideal.
