August 9, 2000 Leading fast ferry operator, Hoverspeed, has teamed up with Connex to bring the Continent that little bit closer this Summer, with day trip fares from London Charing Cross to Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend. Travelling by train from Charing Cross, you can choose between Hoverspeed’s unique hovercraft service from Dover to Calais, or step off the train at Folkestone and head for Boulogne on the high-speed seacat. Fares are just £19 per adult, and £13 per child (up to 15 years of age) for travel between now and September 23. Alternatively, for the same fare, and thanks to a speedy two hour seacat crossing from Dover to Ostend, you can even let the train take the strain on a day trip to Belgium. Fares are also available from intermediate stations, including Ashford International and Canterbury, together with through rail fares to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. For more information, and to book, contact Hoverspeed on 08705 240241, or ask for details at any mainline rail station.Press Release Media contact: Nick Stevens, Public Relations Manager Telephone: (01304) 865170 |
