Thank you! Camilla Send a noteboard - 21/04/2010 05:51:52 AM
I have no idea what time you want to leave, but for instance, if you were leaving tomorrow morning, the schedule could look like this, according to the NMBS website:


07:08 departure Brussels Midi

08:04 arrival Tournai/Doornik


08:17 departure from Tournai to Lille Flandres

08:42 arrival in Lille


09:00 departure from Lille Flandres to Calais Ville

10:18 arrival Calais Ville

So a three hour journey with two changes of trains - there are also possibilities with more changes.

Calais Ville is in the city centre of Calais (address: Avenue Wilson 46, look it up on Google Maps or so), so you'll have to walk or take a bus to the port from there.



Edit: if you need more info or help, feel free to NB me, I can give you my cell number in case something goes wrong while in Belgium if you like


That would be great!

No, it is the Eurotunnel Shuttle. Eurostar is the passenger service. Tim - 20/04/2010 10:35:09 PM 637 Views
