Geoff:
You don't really need that even.

In PS, Harry got around quite happily on British Rail on his own and 
helped with using the London Underground  in PS and OOTP.

I would have thought that a Muggleborn who knew the real world 
could go to Waterloo, get a seat on a Eurostar and be in Paris in 
just a few hours. (two and a quarter after mid-November this year).
