Am looking at doing a foot pax day trip on ferry on Friday 22nd leaving Dover on 0915 sailing and returning from Calais on 1830 sailing. I had a quick look on SNCF and trainline sites and found times that work for a quick two hour visit to Boulogne and still get back within P&Os ridiculous 90 minutes check in time.
I was quoted £16ish on the Trainline, which for an advance ticket for a 25 minute E/W return journey seems very excessive. I'm still undecided on whether to do the Boulogne trip so can anyone tell me if that or a similar fare is still obtainable on the day from the ticket office at Calais please? Also does anyone know if there's any reservation restrictions etc or if you can just board the trains unbooked?
Thanks.
