fromWhat is Motorail?
Normal passenger trains don't carry cars or motorbikes, just passengers and sometimes bicycles. However, there are special 'Motorail' trains which carry cars & motorbikes using car transporters attached to the train. These run on a handful of holiday routes, see the motorail route map below. They're usually summer-only and usually only once or twice a week. They are run by several operators. You must first take a ferry or Eurotunnel shuttle across the Channel, as motorail trains cannot use the Channel Tunnel, they start at either Düsseldorf (Germany) or s'Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) or Paris, but no longer (as of 2010) from Calais. Motorail trains carry cars, motorbikes, small trailers & roof boxes, and on many routes you can now take some over-height 4x4 vehicles & people carriers. However, they can't carry big 4X4s, vans, caravans or campers, as these are too high. There are no motorail trains within the UK, these ceased in 1995.
That's a shame, but to be honest I'm not surprised.scanner wrote:Nick65 wrote: You can get motor rail from Calais
