Dover to Calais £1 -- Dartford to Dover £50???
Saw an offer for Dover to Calais for £1 per foot passenger, so thought I might take the kids to France for the day and let them loose with the French they have learned.
...but the train to get to dover and back is £50!!! What a rip off. |

You can take the car across for about £20 return for a day trip
I do this twice a year for ciggies and only went 2 weeks ago. I know that P&O say that its £30 each way, but thats if you return on a different day to departure |

Cheapest I could get for a 10 day trip in September was £40 for my bike, that was with seafrance.

If you book far enough in advance you can also use Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais for about £11 each way.

So you think the railways should run for free?

I thought about taking the kids over for a day or two but we dont have passports so I checked on the govt website and i'd be looking at £220 for the passports for me and my 3 kids, OUCH!!!

Crazy seeing as we're part of the EU and if you drive between France and Spain you don't need your passport.

They waved me through passport checking onto the Eurotunnel whilst I was still wearing my helmet, complete with blacked out visor fully shut.
Just borrow someone elses passport for the day Kelly! |
