Well the main roads in Kent are pretty much stuffed at the moment. If you are travelling down to the port or eurotunnel today leave plenty of time

[Sandancers]

Can anyone tell me how Eurotunnel can have 5 departures per hour one way but only 3 departures per hour the other way, would that not mean running out of trains one way and having a big stack of them at the other ?

They have a large stock of trains usually parked on the calais side

 

[Larby]

They have a large stock of trains usually parked on the calais side

But then they will have a large stock on the Folkestone side

 

[ianandkath]

yes scousebirb,, but as i repaired most of them for the last 2 years, and they bought new trains, them ones in calais are being used for spares.

Hi Helen.
Operation stack and road disruption due to latest incident has made it onto local radio in Dorset!

^{_{Subscribers  do not see these advertisements}}

 

[scousebird]

It's a huge problem down here Andrea, causing chaos. Apparently migrants are trying to get into the tunnel every night now, the trains were suspended for a short time last night.

 

[big map]

our little convoy is booked on the tunnel in a few weeks time, however i am beginning to wish we had booked Poole - Cherbourg. Personally prefer tunnel for travel and price but this disruption must be impacting on sales.

 

[scousebird]

Let's hope it's sorted soon. I would still pick the tunnel over the ferries but that's a personal thing, although we are going by ferry for our next trip to France

It's raining cats and dogs in belgium at the moment
just thought you would all apreaciate an up date on the weather , now off for breakfast then ordering a Mh after that

 

[Allanm]

We are heading up to Calais later today to catch the Train at 1:30 Sunday morning.
Starting to think we might have a long delay!

 

[Spidey]

We left home at 6:30 am for Dover. Our ferry is tomorrow but thought it better to get there early!
