Talk:Blue Funnel Group

Welcome
Please feel welcome or contribute to this article. I feel Wikipedia would be better for it. The group has become particularly notable for saving' the Hythe Ferry under the newly created 'Blue Funnnel Ferries' company. It is the strength of the group that will allow likely allow the Hythe operation to be sustainable, and a full description of the group would not be in WP:PROPORTION on the Hythe Pier, Railway and Ferry article.

While a Flue Funnell excluding 'Solent and Wightline Cruises' would be possible my understanding is it is actually the latter that is the driving group.
