Does anyone know which coach routes between England and mainland Europe minimise the time spent on a coach?
Often at peak times the Eurostar is full, but there are often still places on coaches going on ferries or on the shuttle through the tunnel. You're not allowed as a foot passenger on the shuttle unless you take a bicycle and book quite far in advance.
London -> Lille is my best candidate, but annoyingly prices are twice what it costs for London -> Paris
