Ok, well I didn't get to the station, though I think its pretty clear that the Eurostar is far too expensive an option - It's definatly £20 to walk on with a bike, limited to 4 bikes per train I think as well.
According to their website boxing the bike to travel or folding it up (for those riding a Brompton to Paris and back) is free with any ticket booked, but like most things that are free you end up paying in a myriad of other ways - by having to acquire a card board box in Paris, or having the bike sent on a later train.
Unless it's already been booked I'd ignore the Eurostar as an option unless you have some serious cash to burn!
Who could ignore the £35 ferry ticket! - but that leaves me with only question - can I ride 120 miles then get up the next day and do the same? the answer will become clear this weekend!
