amazing fares! actually cheaper than some trains

Answer 3

When I was researching for my travels earlier this year, I found that I had to pay quite a lot for the Eurostar tickets. The amount I had to pay with my InterRail ticket was more than the normal (if reduction) fare if I bought the same day.

I just went to Calais and paid much less for a ticket on the ferry.

I get a price of £14.50 for 31 July in the morning.

But you will also have to calculate the travel within England to the ferry, as that will not yet be on your rail pass. (No free or cheap travel within the UK if you are resident there.)

This site can help you finding the different ferries:

It might be that a different ferry, (longer and more expensive journey) is cheaper because the train journey in the UK is shorter for you.

But also look for details as: only with your own transport or only return tickets too.
