Jetstream Tours, the operator responsible for providing the Gravesend to Tilbury Ferry, has announced that the service is being withdrawn at the end of the current contract period on Sunday 31 March.
In a press release published earlier this month, Jetstream tours stated that “due to ongoing concerns and uncertainties presented around future funding” they have been “unable to enter into negotiations with the council” about extending the current contract. We believe that Thurrock and Kent County Councils are in the process of seeking an alternative supplier to operate the service, but nothing has been confirmed at this stage.
Whilst we are not responsible for or involved in the running of the ferry, we appreciate that the withdrawal of the service will impact some c2c customers who travel to and from Tilbury Town station.
We have therefore taken steps – website article, direct mailing and social media posts – to communicate this information with all those who may be affected and need to make alternate arrangements post 31 March.
