Dover to Ashford Int'l

Our objective is to take the Eurostar to Paris. We need to travel from Dover Cruise Terminal to Ashford Int'l Station in England. Any ideas on how to get to Ashford and how long it would take? Thank you.

Regards.
Ken

For the record, Monday-Saturday morning Eurostar trains from Ashford to Paris depart at 07:25 and 10:55. On Sundays there is only one morning train (10:55).

There is a 30-minute check-in deadline for the Eurostar. If you cannot get from Dover to Ashford in time to catch the 10:55 Eurostar, then you could take the ferry from Dover to Calais and the train from there to Paris. You'll have lots of departure times from which to choose and you wouldn't have to backtrack to London.

There are SouthEastern Rail trains to Ashford Int'l from Dover, several an hour, and the journey takes approx. 30 minutes. Are you aware that only a couple of the Eurostar trains stop at Ashford? You'll need to coordinate very well from the ship to Ashford for this, or else go into London, but you no doubt know this.
