Jago Hazzard's latest video covers the Widened Lines and mentions a Liverpool to Paris service that used to run via them. I've found a number of references to this service elsewhere. However none are absolutely clear as to whether there were any through carriages or just connections with paddle steamers at Folkestone and at Calais/Folkestone or wherever on the French side it went. I assume it was just connections, but is anyone sure ?
The Night Ferry did actually have through carriages to Paris. I even went on it. Have there been other through carriages, by sea (as opposed to tunnel), for passengers from the UK to Europe ?
