Is there some other train than Eurostar to go from Lille to London?
Is there a cheaper/slower alternative to Eurostar between Lille and London?
Best Answer
You can use a combination of "classical" trains and ferry.
- Take a local train from Lille to Calais.
- Walk or take a taxi to the ferry terminal.
- Cross the channel by ferry to Dover.
- Take a bus from the ferry terminal to the train station.
- Take a train to London (plenty of options).

This option is only cheaper if you book on shorter notice. If the Eurostar is booked in advance it will be cheaper.

Answer 2
If you have a vehicle, you can use the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle.
(onboard, source)
Passenger vehicles are carried in a car shuttle train, made up of closed wagons. You can get out and walk along inside, and there are bathrooms, but otherwise it's fairly basic.
