Which bus from Poland to London via the Eurotunnel?

I think eurolines were on Saturdays via the tunnel but that ceased 18 June. Anyone know which coach company can get me from Wroclaw to London via the tunnel (not the ferry) with some cases which are too uneconomical to pay to carry on a flight?

Or if anyone is driving that route via the tunnel over the next few weeks and wants a paying passenger with 2 medium cases (30kg and 10kg), let me know how much, you can drop me in Kent, Essex or London. PM me please. Will provide full ID and pay you at the start. I won't rabbit on all the way to the UK either, am very well behaved! :)

Why not the ferry....?

Are you not a very good sailor....?

Yes, and never again.

I'd rather a ferry than a tunnel any day, each to their own


Can I ask what was so bad about the trip? Dover to Calais can't get that rough, apart from the booze cruisers that is

Did dover bolougne many years ago - I would never do a ferry again ever after that.

You must have had a terrible crossing. Was it in high summer? You'd be very unlucky to have a rough crossing at this time of year. In any case, champagne is a very effective prophylactic against sea sickness.


Have you tried Catrina trans? Poland-UK shippers. Good service and reasonable rates. I used them recently and was happy.

Hi Teflcat,

September, very rough, mega bad.

I need to accompany the cases, so prefer a coach to a shipper, but thanks for the recommendation, might need them in future for something else.

Try Grzergorz on 0048551334143, he travels that route regularly transporting stuff to and from the UK, im sure he'll do you a deal.

Thanks Wroclaw Boy, I noted his details down in the past for removals etc, will poss give him a bell for this too, cheers

For 551 334 143 am getting the not valid number message

Nevermind, give this a bump and see if anyone knows which coachline goes via the tunnel

I remember once crossing the English channel through the tunnel on a coach trip but can't remember the lines - perhaps check Sindbad - 0 801 22 33 44 or +48 77 443 44 44 - their are pretty big so they can have an option of going through the tunnel

edit: I just phoned them (Sindbad) - all their coaches go through the tunnel (I guess they it's because they are big) - you can even book online

Thanks Gumishu. Do Sindbad have English speakers on the line? I tried to understand their online timetable last week and seemed they were only going via ferries from the timings.

look above - I've just edited my previous post

yes - the timetable suggest that they go by ferry but the lady on the infoline told me all their coaches use the tunnel

you can call them too perhaps just to check if they talk English too - if you have problems with the 0 801 number (I can't phone this number cause I have a pre-paid) use the regular line

A grateful thanks from me to you, Gumishu :o) Much appreciated!

gulp 429 zl on the coach even booking 5 weeks ahead !!

Dam..thats a lot of money....for something i would consider a complete nightmare.....

Went on a coach trip from UK to Paris once , not so far....but it was sheer torture for me...

My Polish friend Aneta did the coach Polska to UK...she said it was full of drunken Poles singing very loud all the way...

She says she wished she had walked instead....

must have been a nightmare - I traveled quite a bit by coach but was lucky not to have such experiences (I fear drunken people especially in groups)

I think even the cloudiest of crystal balls could have foreseen that, wildie. I hate rowdy buses, not much worse!

I've heard the same from Poles I know here who used to travel on the coaches to the UK. They also told me it used to be fifty quid return!

I can also recall a low cost flight back to the UK last year I took that had a drunk man and his friend (Polish I think) refuse to sit down and then staggering around the aisle as the plane came into land over Stansted. He shouted a bit as the crew tried to seat him and that then set the young passengers off wailing. Imagine that but for 13 hours, not much fun, I'd not want to pay 429zl for that.


There was a bloke the size of a small mountain sitting at the back of a bus I was on, using the Polish word for tart seemingly at every woman on the bus it seemed. This went on for 20 mins. No, I was not brave enough to tackle him and neither did anyone else, he was enormous.

I did Paris -Poznań once and NEVER AGAIN.Plane is the way to ago or a train if one is afraid of flying.

You would not get me on it....if you paid me 50 quid each way....

The coaches appear to be less than ideal, been unable to speak with the person suggested in the post above, if anyone knows of anybody travelling by road via the tunnel happy to have a paying passenger, please let me know the price, will pay the driver as we set off in cash.

I know it's off topic but as we're remembering nightmare journeys I went from Białstok to London once (never again). 31 hours with no toilet. The drivers claimed it was out of order. It was worse than the Madrid to Edinburgh epic I did years ago, and about as awful as Prague to Moscow with no buffet on the train (two nights). Istanbul to Batman (yes Batman) was in a league of its own. Now I bite the bullet and fly everywhere.

31 HOURS? NO TOILET? A total nightmare for many of us I can assure you.

buses stop every four hours for food, smoke, toilet breaks. it's not that bad.

Yes, 31 hours. We stopped a few times of course. btw Eurolines is a company I would never use. As you know it's not one company but has hundreds (thousands?) of partners all over the place. Once when I was going from London to Prague the bus hung a left and took a two-hour detour into Holland to pick up two guys in some one-horse town. Then another two hours to get back to the place where we'd turned off. The boys finished about a dozen tinnies between them and then snored and farted away the rest of the journey. I'd rather walk.

Awwww no no no, psychologically even that would be too much.


Hmm, yes I think I've already met those two Dutchmen!

Don't assume a coach will have luggage space for you bags. I've seem them run out of space.

I saw a Polish tour coach today....with a dam great trailor on the back....
