Gare de Ville opened in 1849, replacing the temporary St. Pierre station which had opened in 1846 and subsequently became the site of a marshalling yard.[1] It was rebuilt in 1888–89.[2] In 1900, the metre gaugeChemin de fer d'Anvin à Calais (CF AC) was extended from St. Pierre to Calais-Ville,[3] enabling the closure of St. Pierre.[4]
In the Second World War, Calais-Ville station had been severely damaged in 1940 during the Battle of France, and further damaged in 1944 when Calais was liberated by Allied forces. The remaining station buildings were demolished and temporary buildings erected to serve until the station was rebuilt.[5] The CF AC closed on 1 March 1955.[6] Calais-Ville station was subsequently rebuilt.[5]
Servicesedit
It is the principal station for commuter and short-distance rail services in Calais. Another station Calais-Fréthun,[7] which is where longer distance trains depart from, is connected by a free shuttle bus service (to meet with trains to Paris).[8] There is a third smaller station at Les Fontinettes.
There is a shuttle service bus from the Port of Calais to the station.
