Eurotunnel UK to France 2025 | All the information you need

In this video, we're going to show you our Euro Tunnel journey, so you will know exactly what to expect from start to finish. We'll also point out where you can buy food, drinks, and where the toilet stops are. [Music] Okay, we're not flexible. The ticket machine has already read your number plate, so you just have a few buttons to press. Then it prints your ticket. You can hang your ticket from the mirror or just leave it on the dashboard like we did. Your train number is the letter and digit printed on your ticket as is V5. And now we're following the signs over to the waiting area. It's a lovely sunny day. And if you got your Flexi Plus ticket, you'd go off to that lane. We haven't got one of those today, so we're just going straight on. This is the car park where you have to wait until they call you for your train. So we are parking here and on that board we can see when we have to carry on to the train. Let's have a close look at this information board. The information is displayed alternately in English and French and they will show you information for all the trains due to leave over the next hour and a half approximately. On the left you see the time your train is scheduled to depart. Then in the next column the train number as is V5. Then whether it's on time or delayed and then finally what you need to know about your train. Ooh, our says last call. >> We got to go. >> In a minute, you'll see the shops, toilets, and takeaway restaurants on the left. And you can walk your dog here around the car park if you need to. [Music] So, we're in the queue now at the passport and security control. So, in a minute we're going to show our ticket and our passport. So, we just showed our passport and that went perfectly fine. And now we are going up to the French passport check area. here we go then we're now driving to the train. Very exciting. The man on the right is holding up the sign telling you which lane to go in depending on your train number. If you didn't get a chance to get a drink and go to the L in the car park, you and pop out here. But you will have to keep a close eye on the queue as there's no guarantee how long you have before things start moving. And once again, there's a a notice board up there, and that will tell you in French and in English what the status is of your train. [Music] That side is flexible. [Music] [Music] We're just queuing to go down the slope and >> get onto the train. You can see the trains are double-decker. That was a bit of a surprise to us the first time we saw them, but we've traveled on the shuttle now quite a few times, so we're used to it and it doesn't really make any difference. So, you get on and then you have to drive along the inside. still see um that we're on land because there's the window. You can't see outside it, but there's light coming in. Okay, so we'll just stop here for a moment until we get going. The safety announcement has just told us that the toilets on the double-decker trains are every third carriage. Um, so you can see by that little sign up there, it's pointing which way the toilets are. So, let's go and have a look at the toilets and see what they're like. Just walked through one carriage and now we can see the sign is directing us downstairs. So, let's go downstairs. So, we've come downstairs and here's the toilet. I'll just show you what it's like inside. Okay, so if you've got children, there's enough room for an adult and a child to go in there. So that's quite good. Okay. You are allowed to get out of your car if you feel like stretching your legs, but just a word of warning um if you do need to go to the L. The doors are very stiff and um you will need an adult to go with any children. That's the button you press. But they are really quite heavy. Okay. Well, it's time to get back in the car now then. So, it's nearly time to get off the train. So, here we are then. We're going down the little ramp and now we are on French soil. Yippee. or should I say French tarmac. So there we go. Another successful journey under the channel and actually it is quite pleasant. We hope this video has been useful. And if you're watching this before you set off to France, we hope you have a really lovely holiday.
