 Travellers going from Cheriton to Coquelles clear French entry immigration and customs checks before boarding the train in Cheriton, rather than on arrival in Coquelles.The terminal consists of eight island platforms, which are each 791 metres in length, with four overbridges connecting them to the motorway and the terminal.The overbridges are located at approximately equidistant points along the length of the platforms so that vehicles have to drive for as little distance as possible along the platforms themselves; vehicles unloaded from the front to the middle of the train would use the furthest bridge, while those unloaded from the centre to the rear would use the next bridge in, and vice versa for those vehicles embarking.
