They worked a few weeks ago as I tried them and amended the entries. I also found the alternatives to their Travel Line service 0871 2002444, which were 01304 864015 and 016. Now they also redirect to the 0870. So it seems that someone at P&O Ferries has looked at the numbers in our database and cut them off.
Not to worry because there are more 01304 numbers that worked that are similar and it's a simple case of trying some more.
For reference, numbers removed are: 01304 864156 & 01304 864002 /3 /4 /5 These had reservations and customer services menu on. Also, 01304 864241 went straight to an operator. 01304 864500 was also customer services.
Here goes from 01304 8640xx:
Key- > 0870 redirector
- ! Will shortly be discontinued, gives 0870 and then puts you through to %
- % Starts off "Here at P&O some of the best deals are online. Log on to...", then gives menu which is same as 0870: Opt 1: Dover->Calais; Opt 2: Hull->Rotterdam/Zeebrugge; Opt 3: Portsmouth->Bilbao; Opt 4: P&O Irish Sea (redirects to 0870 2424777)
- $ Menu: Opt 1: New reservations; Opt2: Changes to existing reservations; Opt 3: Any other enquiry. This is the next level menu when option 1, 2 or 3 is selected on % menu.

You get the idea. There are loads of other numbers that work that follow on. I have discovered the new Travel Line number which is now in the database.
01304 864088 goes straight through to operator.
