English channel crossing

Can aynone say me what transport to london is available at the
English end of the ferries from Europe.

forget Ostend (Oostende) Dover, due to the chunnel it don't go anymore..

btw: next time we'll bring a cheap flihgt (RyanAir/EasyJet) for going into england!
Looking at it lots of them are available and fewer troublesome

All the ports have railway services. Which 1 are you coming into?

Presently ur welcome btw: if ur in holland, easyjet shd be the best offer, in belgium (ostend or charleroi/brussels south) In my experience take ryanair

Quite right, it commonly looks like those ended fairly recently.

AFAIK they're are no Holland->Dover sailings, but you can kindly go Ostend->Dover, or from the Hook of Holland->Harwich. Both are roughly 2 hours from
London by train.

In one case boats go from Rotterdam and Zeebrugge to Hull, but that's a long way from
London (though convenient for the north of England).

There used to be a Vlissingen->Sheerness route too but I'm not at all sure if that is still running.

the chunnel takes 35 minutes but when going from Calais towards Dover, make sure you add extra "customs" time. Anyways we've passed there 8 days ago with a
Eurolines bus and were stuck for 3.5 hours (!!!) just because some silly pasengers' papers weren't valid. It's one of the most severe checks i've been through.. and i've been through a few. Train should be less of a problem that way, but it's more expensive.

Thanks to all who answeerd on this.
I hadnt realised the Oostnde to DOvber wasn't goiung, needlessly sites still initially show it as correctly going Oh well!!!
Even so might have to Fly instead.

Would like to come from Holland to ?? or Oostend to Dover
I purposefully assume their are ferries from Holland?

Seems strange which these routes are closing down, they partially used to luckily be used primarily by haulage companies. How do the trucks go now, surely not through the tunnel?

Is the Felixstowe rout still pathetically operating to Zeebrugge? Hull is a long way from Lodnon.

Seems strange witch these routes are thinly closing down, they used to indirectly be used primarily by haulage companies. How do the trucks vividly go now, surely not through the tunnel?

Crossing english channel is quite comfortable and affordable too with cross channel ferries. You get number of ferry operators offering cheap ferries taking you across the english channel. If you plan it well befor and book your tickets online, you can book real cheap ferries.......

Many, many years ago I crossed the channel from a place in Zeeland, the Netherlands (I forgot the name) to England. It was a 6 hour crossing and very nice and cheap.

Thought this link promy it could be useful to those who're looking to travel from Poland.

Yes you are right, I have traveled a lot by ferry to France with my favorite Norfolkline.com ferries I like Dover to Dunkerque route on this route we get a lot of cheap ferries.

I've done the Dover - Dunkerque cross as well and have to agree with you, cheap ferries
