TRAIN FERRY SERVICE
Dover to Dunkirk Crossing (British Official Wireless.) (Received February 28, 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, February 27. A train ferry service from Dover across the English Channel to Dunkirk will be in regular service by October next. This was announced at the annual meeting of the Southern Railway Company, under whose auspices the service will be conducted. It was stated that, it would enable business men to leave London late at night and sleep in the same train berth until they reached Paris for breakfast. The competition of air routes must inevitably increase, but confidence was expressed that on the London to Paris route the new train ferry service would be preferred to the air journey.
