About these live timetables

This page combines the main live departures between Calais and Dover with the Eurotunnel shuttle between Calais and Folkestone. That gives you one overview of the main crossings between France and England on this corridor.

We use a 1-day default because this route has many departures each day. A shorter view makes the timetable easier to scan, especially on busy travel days, while still letting you adjust the date if you want to look further ahead.

Ferry crossings on this route are operated by P&O Ferries, DFDS and Irish Ferries. The tunnel crossing is operated by Le Shuttle / Eurotunnel. Ferry crossings usually take longer, while the tunnel is often the faster option for drivers.

If you are travelling on a busy summer day, during strong winds, or when disruption is expected, always check the official operator website as well. Live timetable feeds can lag behind sudden cancellations, port disruption, weather delays or traffic-related changes.

If a departure is missing from the timetable, it usually means the next schedule has not yet been released in the source system or is still being updated. That happens most often around timetable changes, seasonal updates and peak travel periods.
