Travelling via the Channel Tunnel
The Channel Tunnel provides a train route from the continent to Britain via both Eurostar passenger trains and Eurotunnel trains, which take passengers and vehicles. Passengers using coaches and buses can also take the Eurotunnel which can take you from France to Britain in less than an hour. Eurostar passengers can also use rail services from France and Belgium to access the UK, stopping at Ebbsfleet or St Pancras Station.
