How can I get a discount on the Chunnel?

Question

I heard that if I buy the ISE (some sort of international student ID card) that I can get a discount and/or if i have a rail pass or something. Anyone know for sure how I can get a discount?

Answer 1

There are 2 sorts of "chunnel" - Eurotunnel for cars / freight and Eurostar who run the passenger trains.

If you're using Eurostar, there are student discounts, but a return journey can be as low as £59 if you travel on specific trains - so cheaper than a discount on other services.

Also, through journeys from towns across the UK are very cheap - £79 from Derby, for instance, even though the fare to / from London  can be much more than that!
