¹   Estimated figure calculated on an average of 13 tonnes of goods carried per truck.
2  Only passengers using Eurostar to cross the Channel are included in this table, thus excluding journeys between
    Paris-Calais and Brussels-Lille.

Since commercial services started progressively from May 1994, more than 212 million people have travelled through the Channel Tunnel, i.e. more than 3 times the population of each of the two linked countries, the United Kingdom and France.

The frequentation figures include passengers travelling onboard Eurotunnel shuttles by cars, campervans, motorcycles, coaches or trucks as well as on Eurostar trains going through the Channel Tunnel. The above figure can be broken down into nearly 128 million passengers on Eurotunnel shuttles and nearly 85 million passengers on Eurostar.

This represents an average of nearly 49,000 passengers travelling through the Channel Tunnel each day of 2007.

Since the start of commercial truck service in July 1994, Eurotunnel has carried about 12.9 million trucks, an equivalent of 168 million tonnes of freight goods.

To these volumes, we must add nearly 28 million tonnes of freight carried by International rail freight services (SNCF and EWS) through the Channel Tunnel since June 1994.
