> Calais-Dover is also a good example of how train is faster than ship (30 minutes vs 1h30), even in this instance of a very straight route for the ships.

Do Calais-Dover ferries sell things on board?

Passengers need time to wander through the onboard shops and restaurants.



Yes they've got restaurants and shops and stuff.
