Did you know it still travels through Folkestone? Read all about it, they didn't enjoy the change in our town though...
Then we reached Folkestone, got off the train and onto a coach, yes, a coach, for the Eurotunnel transfer: going round Folkestone roundabouts, having to ablute in some ghastly car-park toilet, not having access to a bar...

You can see it rumble into Folkestone Harbour every (Thursday, I think?) lunchtime. A magnificent sight.
