FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About English Courses in Torquay

What is the best option (in terms of finance and especially time) for getting to Torquay from Switzerland (I live in Lausanne)?
“The best way to get from Lausanne to Torquay in terms of both time and cost would be to fly to London (from Geneva), then take a train from London Paddington to Torquay. This would be the quickest and potentially cheapest option, especially if you book your plane and train tickets in advance.”
