I'm off to fetch my daughter and her boyfriend from France this afto.
They have been in Paris for two extra nights waiting for Eurostar to re-commence services. Now It seems they have been told unofficially they should not expect a service tomorrow either.
Cheapest flights out of Paris to London i can find for two singles is £975.00 - joke.
If they could get to Calais - trains are full - then PandO are only accepting foot passengers until 3:15PM today and thereafter starting at 6:45am tomorrow...
However I can book my car over to pick them up for the same price as two foot fares.
They have managed to book a train to Dunkirk this afto and me and the GTR are on the P and O ferry out at 6:25PM and returning 22:35 tonight - well that's the plan...
Can't find much info for Road conditions from Calais to Dunkirk except on a random motorhome forum! and a few people say they got through OK this morning so I'm going for it, It's snowing hard here right now (7miles south of Reading) so this could be fun...
I could take the Passat but where would the fun be in that and hey the four wheel drive might come in handy...
I'll let you know how I get on.... might do some updates from the phone for a laugh... Planes Trains and Automobiles...
