Calais International Train Station

Calais-Fréthun is the first point of arrival on the continental side of the Eurostar route, passengers can alight here to connect onto the SNCF or TGV Nord services. Since summer 2006 it is possible to use Eurostar for domestic journeys between Paris Gare du Nord and Calais Frethun, but passengers are subject to the same security and immigration checks as if they were using Eurostar for an international journey. This is unusual because it is not possible to do this on the English side between London St Pancras and Ashford/Ebbsfleet.
