yermawWhat in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?
Oscar CunninghamI grew up in Portsmouth, England. Some my friends would come to school from the Isle of Wight on the hovercraft service. We all thought the hovercraft was pretty cool, but I only recently found out that it’s the only commercially operated hovercraft in the whole world.
blackn1ghtIs it still operating? For some reason I thought it stopped quite a while ago. Or maybe that’s the one that used to cross the channel.
Yeah, still running like normal: www.hovertravel.co.uk.
Goldholz Yes it is! Costs £20 if i remember correctly
I was in pompy 2 years ago and yes i found the hovercrafts cool. I didnt know that fact! Thanks! I wonder if my boyfriend from pompy knows that fact too.
Fratton is quite scary though ngl
I grew up in Gosport and enjoy the looks I get when describing that we needed to get a ferry across the harbour if we wanted to go to a club like Walkabout. I hear the overnight ferry stopped running so you’re screwed trying to get home late now.
AnUnusualRelicThere used to be one across the channel but it was discontinued some time ago. I took it once. It was cramped and noisy, but fast.
