The Silver Arrow (French: Flèche d’Argent) was an intermodal passenger transport service linking Victoria station in London with Gare du Nord in Paris, via Le Touquet Airport, northern France. In operation between 1956 and the opening of the Channel Tunnel, it used a combination of rail and air transport, and, for some of its existence, also buses.
