Channel Routes

Channel Routes.

The routes availabe are:-Dover and Calais, Folkestone and Boulogne, Newhaven and Dieppe, Southampton and Havre, and Tilbury and Dunkirk. The four first-named services are of long standing, but only this season has the Tilbury-Dunkirk route been opened out by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the French Northern Company.

By the new route, there is maintained a regular night service, leaving St. Pancras Station, London, at 10.30 p.m., and arriving Paris at 11.20 a.m. the following day. In the return direction, the French capital is left at 7 p.m., and London reached at 8.9 a.m. Through carriages run to and from Tilbury Docks in connection with this service from all leading Home centres, whilst across the Channel through expresses have been introduced giving quick connection with French, Swiss and Italian resorts.
