The two ways of coming to Dover from London is the railway from London's Victoria or Charing Cross Stations or the cheaper, slower National Express coaches from London Victoria.

Full details of these are on our public transport between Dover and London page.

The railway station you require is Dover Priory Station pictured right.
There is a bus service between here and the ferry terminals, for the cruise terminals you need a taxi.

With Taxi Rank On Left
The National Express coaches stop in the town centre and the Ferry Terminal. As the train station, cruise passengers require a taxi to the cruise terminals.

Dover Priory Rail Station

Dover Priory is a medium size rail station with several platforms. There are basic facilities, washrooms, cafe and waiting rooms. A manned ticket office is open most of the day and there also self service ticket machines.
There is no left luggage facility though.

Only one platform is accessible without climbing stairs or taking a lift up to cross a bridge which enables access to the other platforms. (See picture right)

The taxi rank is immediately outside the ticket office building. Cruise passengers need to take a taxi to the cruise terminals.

A bus runs regularly to the ferry terminal for which there is a charge.
The town centre is a 5/10 minute walk.

Typical Dover Taxi Cab
Taxi cabs at Dover come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, the image left s fairly typical.

If you have two cases per person and more than 2 people you may end up with multiple taxi cabs.

Fare from the train station to/from the cruise terminals should be about 7/8 GBP

Dover Bus Stops & Station
The National Express coaches from London drop off and pick up from both the ferry terminal and Porchester Road in Dover Town Centre.
For cruise passengers the Dover Porchester Road option may look attractive at first glance.

However, it is a rather scruffy area on the edge of the shopping area, (see right). Taxi's are far more plentiful at the ferry terminal to transport you onto the cruise terminal.

Similarly on departing Dover, the waiting facilities at the ferry

Dover Porchester Road Bus Station
terminal are far superior to that at Porchaster Road. Taxi fares between Dover Cruise Terminals and the town centre and ferry terminal bus stops should be very similar.
