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. TER-MER Three or four weekends per year the Nord-Pas-de-Calais regional council offers a promotion called opération TER-MER. The promotion offers return tickets to a chosen beach for €1; passengers travel to a local station from where shuttle buses guarantee an on-connection to the beach. This promotion was used by 50,000 people in 2005. 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.
