Best Answer

You have two options. You can take a high speed passenger train, or you can take put your car one of the vehicle transporting trains

A train takes approximately 25 minutes to go through the Channel Tunnel.

The Eurotunnel Shuttle is the brand name for the car carrying trains which run through the Channel Tunnel between Folkestone and Calais.

Eurostar is the brand name of the company running high speed trains London-Paris and London-Lille-Brussels through the Channel Tunnel.

Eurostar uses the stations: St. Pancras (London), Gare du Nord (Paris), Bruxelles Midi (Brussels) and Lille Europe.

Currently these are the only passenger trains operating through the tunnel.

The Eurostar takes 2 hours 15 minutes between London and Paris. There is approximately one train per hour in each direction.
