Essentially a five hour delay with the Tunnel (booked on the 1806, got on the 2250). Nothing to do with strikes, or indeed tighter passport controls, just consequences of a failed train / power outage on one of their busiest days.

Not ideal, and would have appreciated a bit more communication from Eurotunnel (especially as they were able to text me on Monday morning about extra passport checks, but not about the delays), but just one of those things.

had some friends who started queueing on the motorway at around 3pm, made it through passport control at 8.30pm (for an 8pm booking) and didn't get on a train until about 1am... i suspect their booking system can't handle irregular operations particularly well!

Muppetdave901 should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridMuppetdave901 should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridMuppetdave901 should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
According to an article in The Observer (via Facebook), it was down to refuges creating a roadblock and stoning British Drivers stuck on the motorway.....

We asked at passport control on the Tuesday and they said nothing like that had happened (we had heard about the outage)
