- Eurostar is telling passengers not to travel due to “major disruption” in the Channel Tunnel
- It says there is a problem with the overhead power supply “and a subsequent failed Le Shuttle train”
Insanity- they appear to be cancelling trains left, right and centre but are still advising that Passengers travelling from both terminals are urged to check in as planned.
" Eurostar has cancelled all services on Tuesday due to “major disruption” in the Channel Tunnel"
Also causing problems on the M20
"Traffic facing 45-minute delays near Eurotunnel terminal
As pictured in our previous post, National Highways has warned there are up to 45-minute delays on the M20 near the LeShuttle terminal in Folkestone.
It says disruption is centred around the eastbound exit slip road to the Channel Tunnel vehicle terminal."
Expect the same is happening at the French end in Calais.
Who would have thought that the French are more optimist? On the French side there are news about restarting services around 15h00:
Channel Tunnel operator Getlink announced it was planning a “gradual resumption” of service “from 3 p.m.” on Tuesday, December 30, a spokesperson told Agence France-Presse (AFP), following Eurostar’s announcement of the suspension of services. Earlier in the day, Eurostar had announced the suspension of “all trains between London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels” until further notice, after two technical incidents involving the tunnel operator in the Channel Tunnel.
