Jet Foil between Ostend and Ramsgate
are there still jetfoils b/w Ostend and Ramsgate?
I read somewhere that the jetfoils were sold to a German company to be used b/w Germany and Denmark (never got permissions though). IF there are still jet foil service, what would be the approximate cost? (trying to figure out if the additional time of Brussels - train to Ostend - Jetfoil to Ramsgate - train to London is worth the saving in cost (as compared to Eurostar directly from Brussels to London which I found to be around 220 USD) Thank you. |

Passengers wishing to use the train-boat-train combination between Belgium and the UK are bussed from Oostende to Calais, where they board a fast ferry. I cannot imagine the service being very popular... Eurostar Brussels - London can be had for EUR 40,- one way if you book 21 days beforehand. So I wouldn't dismiss this option to soon... Krist |
