If you look into her ear, can you see light at the end of the tunnel?


On what side of the road do the busses drive in the Chunnel?

Why not just look it up? Not hard to do. 2 hours 15 minutes.


which is strangely the time I quoted in my Original Post. The question was "what
is the actual travel time" not how long it takes to get from London to Paris.

But thanks anyway


What is "actual travel time" if it's not the time between departure
and arrival?
