There was this thing called the night ferry, which took trains on board it. It was only if you were travelling first class. There were special trains and they went, I think, from Paddington actually, and if you were in first class, your train just ran straight onto the ferry. You stayed aboard it and then it ran straight off the ferry at the other end.
