Chunnel from England to France...which side of the road?

Question

When you take the chunnel from England to France, at what point do you start driving on the other side of the road? How does that work?

Answer 1

Ha ha ha that is sooo funny

Answer 2

No, you don't drive, the trains carry the cars.

But... although there are crossover sections in the tunnels, for maintenance and emergency use, the trains don't have to change sides, as on double track the French trains go on the left like the British ones.  French trains have to change over to the right at the borders with Holland, Germany and Spain.

Answer 3

You will find it rather difficult to drive through the Channel Tunnel - it was built for trains.

On the English side of the Tunnel you drive on the left hand side of the road; on the French side, you drive on the right hand side of the road. Between the two, you are in a rail box car with your engine off.

Answer 4

You cannot drive by car through the tunnel, only be trains.

Your car is put on a train (on the left side of the road) and comes out of the train in France on the right side.

Answer 5

You can't drive through the channel tunnel!! Its for the Eurostar, you can take your car on the Eurostar and then when you off load it, you're automatically in France, so you automatically drive on the other side of the road.

Alternative, (and cheaper) route, is to go via Dover on a ferry.
