Wow....this was quick.
My new GTI was only ordered by my dealer on Tuesday this week (6/3/18). It the very next day went to Stage 2 (with the factory) and this morning I got the email to say it had gone to stage 3 (Build week Confirmed) and it's confirmed at BW 16/4/18.

If I add approx 4-5 weeks onto that for shipping etc. that would only be about 10-11 weeks from order. My dealer told me to expect around 16-20 weeks (not that I'm in any real hurry).

For those of you who had BW 12/03/18 and were pleased with having your car in Emden this week (a number of us), the good news is that the ship 'Malacca Highway' is en route to Sheerness for those of us in the south and the ship 'City of Paris' is en route to Grimsby for those of you in the north.
It is getting close!

Well mine is definitely not on the city of Paris.  Just been on the web chat.  Come to the conclusion my car is what the port staff are using to get the bacon sandwiches.

It will have been there two weeks on Wednesday.  Not sure what the next possible shipping opportunity might be.

That’s what I thought but mine is apparently going to Grimsby despite my VW dealer being about 6 miles away from the port of Tyne?!

Do you know for certain it's going to Grimsby? Seems odd because if your dealer is Lookers at Silverlink then it'll definitely be going to Port of Tyne and not Grimsby. When I bought my gti from Lookers Northallerton it went to Port of Tyne.
