Heavy passenger business this season is expected between Britain and France, many of our Coronation visitors rounding off their European trip by attending the vast International Exhibition being held in Paris from May to November. Passenger movement to and from France is largely in the hands of the Southern Railway, which owns 47 sea-going vessels, manned by 1,000 officers and men. Last year these vessels steamed 612,162 seamiles, conveying 4,000,000 passengers, 200,000 tons of cargo, and 42,359 motorcars. Dover, Folkestone, Newhaven and Southampton are the main jumping-off points for France, steamship services operating between these points and the French ports of Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe, Le Havre and St. Malo. Between London-Dover-Calais-Paris, the Southern Railway of England and the Northern Railway of France operate the daily “Golden Arrow” service—the fastest link between the two capitals. An alternative means of passage, for those who dread the usual Channel crossing, is provided by the new Channel train-ferry between Dover and Dunkirk. Opened last October, the ferry conveyed up to the end of 1936 some 12,460 passengers and 8,559 tons of cargo.
