Once you've done the tunnel it's unlikely you'll go back. For a high top van it works out around £78 dearer on my next trip in October which is split by two people but for me the experience is so much better. Less waiting and boarding times, less likelihood of being disrupted by the weather, saves an hour of journey time which is a godsend especially on the way home. You can take your dog and don't have to leave it below deck and the security is much better as you are with the vehicle that contains thousands of pounds worth of gear. No sweaty farting Polish truck drivers or disinfectant and sick. If there are holds ups at Dover then there will likely be delays at Folkstone too and vice versa. Tunnel every time for me

Used both , and both had advantages . The train is really a conveyer , where often they chuck you on early , and it's great if your taking a dog. I also love Newhaven to Dieppe , 3 hours kip , and Rouen in 45 mins gives great timing for Limoges area . As it's only the one boat , hold ups are rare .
