TER grande vitesse
With the objective of connecting all the towns on the Northwest coast to Lille in less than an hour, the Nord-Pas de Calais région has put in place TERGV. Certain trains, with the agreement of the SNCF, use the LGV Nord from Lille-Europe to reach their destination instead of conventional lines. This enables them to connect Lille to Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkirk and Arras in less than an hour.

Electrification Completed
The railway is electrified from Calais-Ville via Gravelines to Dunkerque.

Future projects
The region envisages to:
 * double and electrify the line between Calais and Dunkirk
 * build two new lines between Arras and Cambrai and between Douai and Orchies
 * reopen the line between Béthune and Bruay-la-Buissière
 * increase frequency of service between Lille and Lens
 * create a new high speed regional service between Fourmies, Maubeuge and Lille, to reduce travel time from an hour and thirty minutes to forty-five minutes.
