m/bike in ch/unnel

I doubt if Eurostar will, but eurotunnel ie the vehicle service, rather than E* which is just people!


see:
http://www.visitbritain.co.uk/travel...urotunnel.aspx

Not too pricey?

Compare this:
When I took a BSA Bantam from Newcastle Central to North Wales in early 1980s, I had to pay prebooked in advance Half fare for the bike, full fare for me, plus a reservation fee. We went in the Guards Van, and I had to supply and fit my own tie downs!

While I doubt you can, why not use one of the car ferries?

From the Eurostar "Conditions of Carriage"

If you can fold or dismantle your bike and place it in a bike bag which is no bigger than a large suitcase with the saddle, handlebars and wheels removed, you can carry it on board as part of your permitted quantity of luggage.

I've got a Tardis FLAT - actually, I call it 'The Turdis', since everyone asks me how I manage to get such an unbelievable amount of sh*t in it!

Its a shame that vehicles with brake ends are not built anymore. Just piddly little corners near the exits.

I do believe this is from what was known as British Railways.
