What is the cost and availability of ferry crossing from Calais to Dover this weekend?
Fares to Doves for one passenger (16+) with no vehicle costs £29.50 and is available from 00:20 and takes 30 minutes for the journey
The real time information system I used to get to my selected result was a search engine.
The purpose of the real time information system I used was to check fare prices and availability to ferry rides.
The advantage of the system I used was that it’s fast, easy, reliable and always up to date.
A disadvantage is that it isn’t available offline and you have to flick through the times if you want a fare of an earlier time.
A non-internet alternative is to go read through the ferry timetable leaflet or go the actual counter to query them.
