Newcastle, Stavangar, Bergen Ferry reinstated.

I travelled Newcastle to Stavanger in 1967 on a school skiing trip. I think it will be popular but probably expensive. The north sea ferry from Rosyth in Scotland sadly didnt last long - not sure where that went though.

We travelled by that route several times, the last in 1991. We're hoping that we'll be fit enough to do it when the new ship comes into service. Our holidays in Scandinavia were fantastic and we made it to North Cape 2 or 3 times. Good news indeed, and it should be good for businesses here if it brings the Norwegian tourists back here to the north east.

Fantastic news. My Norwegian cousin will be delighted.

Good, I love Norway and was sorry when the ferries stopped.

I typed Bergen but obviously my phone didn't believe me and autocorrected.

Sounds good. Bergman and Stavanger are very interesting places. I'd love to go back.
