Channel Tunnel

[The Bumblebee]

After the Channel tunnel fire recently, do you think its worth booking a trip to France this week or will it still be chaos on the M20 and the tunnel?

[Roo.]

The Tunnel has got very restricted passenger use at the moment. It's mainly for freight.

The M20 is closed junctions 11-12 for operation stack so that'll be busy as well.

Hope this clears up. I'm supposed to be going through the tunnel en-route to the 'Ring on Friday.

Please refer to it as the chunnel...

This is the new buzz word for it!

It's been called the chunnel for years.

I've got a crossing booked for Saturday 27th. What are the chances of it being back to normal by then? I phoned Eurotunnel and they had no idea.

I just canceled a Eurostar trip on Weds as they are operating such a reduced service I had no way of knowing when I'd get to Brussels. Flying BMI instead. How I love Brussels airport (but at least I avoid T5).

T5 is ok i think. I've been about 20 times and have had no problems...

As far as the M20 goes, I've just gone from Ashford to Dover for a meeting and everything is tickety boo.
