 The Fixed Link between the United Kingdom and France is made up of twin railway tunnels and a service beneath the sea bed in the English Channel and two terminals, at Folkestone, in Kent and Coquelles, in the Nord Pas-de-Calais for passenger and freight access.
It operates a fleet of 25 shuttle trains to transport cars, coaches and trucks and grants access to passenger and freight trains from railway companies.
Quoted on the stock markets in London, Paris and Brussels, the Anglo-French group, Eurotunnel has a concession from the British and French governments to operate the Channel Tunnel until 2086. Eurotunnel has transported people and goods through the Channel Tunnel between France and the United Kingdom for the past 12 years.
The Group manages a transport system whose speed, frequency and safety are unrivalled. It is the only transport company able to guarantee Channel crossings at high speed no matter what the weather conditions and without handling delays.
Eurotunnel can also operate rail links in Europe via its subsidiary, Europorte 2.
Eurotunnel shuttles run four times an hour at peak
periods. You drive through both British and French frontier controls
at the departure terminal, with no checks on arrival. Don't forget
your passports and vehicle documentation, insurance and breakdown
cover!. Boarding is easy, you just drive on and follow directions
from our staff. Once inside the shuttle you can relax in your vehicle
or stretch your legs for the 35-minute journey. You stay with your
vehicles in brightly-lit, air-conditioned carriages. You can walk
around inside the shuttle and toilets are situated in every third
carriage. You can tune-in to the on-board Eurotunnel radio (95.6 or
99.8 FM) for news, music, and information on events. Visual display
screens keep you informed about your journey and there are Eurotunnel
staff available to answer any questions.
