In 2001, the first three lines were opened:
Passenger going to Calais-Ville can also use that line, a shuttle service from Calais-Fréthun to Calais-Ville using regular TER
trains or bus is available within 30 minutes of the departure/arrival of each train.
Some of the trains also do not go as far as Rang
on the line, in that case, they either have their terminus in Boulogne or Etaple.
Lille-Europe - Arras
was added in 2007. The success of this line led to subsequent capacity increases.
