Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Thanks Tonker.

We usually take the car on the train thingy for a couple of weeks. I think we usually pay top dollar retail price, and I wondered if anybody knew of any deals to be had?

The old system of booking an evening return from the UK - £19 and a day return from France - 39 euros hasn't let me down yet. They threaten to hit you for full fare singles if you don't use the return, but they've never done it to me. You end up with a return ticket for about £50.

IF any of you are going to use this system, I strongly recommend that you use different credit cards to pay for each leg, preferably in different names. Only book one via internet or use another computer for the second booking (or expunge all cookies between visits). If they were smart enough to use an ANPR type system than cheats like me would get shafted, but they're not that switched on it seems.

Best of luck.

£98 if you travel from UK after 5 and return before 11 for a long stay return.

That's the best on their website, can't find better yet

Did you find this by trial & error, or is there a page I haven't found?

Apparently it`s all down to timing........


















You have to let go just before the lorry passes under the bridge if you want to land on the roof safely.

two things.

1: no it doesnt.

2: i note that 'i hope this helps' has become your strap line.
