Furious P&O Ferries customers have rounded on the company for leaving them stranded at short notice, causing confusion over refunds, and for its “abysmal” treatment of 800 staff, whose abrupt sacking on Thursday triggered chaos at ports across the country.
P&O initially told passengers that services were unable to run “for the next few hours”, affecting the Dover-Calais crossing and the routes from Hull to Rotterdam, Liverpool to Dublin, and Cairnryan to Larne.
