Eurotunnel Shuttle (previously known as Le Shuttle) is a shuttle service between Calais/Coquelles in France and Folkestone in the UK. It conveys road vehicles through the Channel Tunnel, with passenger vehicles being carried in closed wagons. Half of the train (the rear rake) carries cars and other low vehicles in double-deck wagons, with the first and last two carriages of the section containing the access ramps. Coaches, buses and other high vehicles travel in the single-deck rake at the front of the train. In busy times cars can also use this section.

Eurotunnel occasionally run trains at 'half full', closing the top deck to reduce costs.

Toilets are provided in every third carriage in the double-deck section, and in the first and last carriages in the single-deck section. Carriages are sealed off with fire-proof doors, and are pressurised.

HGVs are carried on semi-open wagons, with a separate passenger carriage for the drivers.

For more information on the locomotives used to operate this service, see Eurotunnel Class 9.

It is owned and operated by Eurotunnel, the Channel Tunnel owners.
