What's the rail connection?
This ferry, like several others, are in the Rail Timetable because they used to be part of the network.
The rail station on the north end closed in 1992 but a bus service has run at the same times since then.
Hence on many systems you can get the ferry timetable by looking at the old Tilbury Riverside Station
Eurostar services to and from London St Pancras International have been cancelled due to flooding in a tunnel as festive disruption continues.

via ScotRail - Ayr Station Hotel Fire
Trains will not be able to serve Ayr for several weeks while South Ayrshire Council completes work to make the damaged hotel safe.
Network Rail also need to inspect the tracks, signals & overhead wires before the line can reopen.
Buses will continue to replace trains between Prestwick Town & Ayr and Girvan & Ayr.
Also 2 trains are stuck south of Ayr so Ayr to Girval has reduced service until further notice

The world's longest rail tunnel has been shut to passenger services after a derailment in Switzerland causing damage that will take months to repair.
Swiss authorities said there was "no indication" when the Gotthard Base Tunnel would reopen.
Sixteen wagons derailed and are still stuck inside, a week after the derailment on 10 August.
TfL "lost" a Jubilee train earlier after it left Green Park and arrived at Charing Cross instead of Westminster.
