Train Travel

Did you know that to cross the Euro tunnel you can either take a passenger train or as we did a car train. You simply drive your car onto the carriage and the train takes you to France in about 35minutes. Once the train stops at Calais you simply drive off the train and straight onto the right (wrong) side of the road. Pretty darn amazing really but totally frightening when you are not used to driving on the opposite side of the road.
All the customs stuff is done at the English side prior to driving onto the train. You are then asked to line up in a boarding area and then next you are driving onto a train carriage.
Brilliant.
Cars are bumper to bumper about6 to a carriage. You can hop out of your car and their is even a bathroom should you need it. So easy.
