To bring it slightly back on topic, the Tunnel seems to be providing
vigorous competition. I’m taking a car over for a few days in early May. A
car and 3 passengers worked out a few pounds cheaper than any ferry
offering.

It all depends on where you live.

Living many hours drive from Dover I would find the ferry attractive due
to the break from driving the crossing provides.

I suppose why that's why the ferries are still struggling, despite their ruthless approach to HR.

A chum who goes London-Paris weekly on tech maintenance trips either goes
train or car via tunnel, depending on what kit if any he is taking. If nothing
much then E*, but if there's hefty hardware or a colleague, then he takes his
Skoda estate [which usually has its back dropped flat] for the trip. Which is
cheaper? No clear winner, since day and time varies – but if the train is
taking the strain he tries to avoid Monday mornings and Friday afternoons
which are always busy.
