...We know that.
There's substantial disruption and delays though (which is what we're discussing....)
:signLOL:

Oh yeah but only really the operation stack on the M20 that's delaying anything now.
I booked one of my work colleagues on the tunnel only yesterday evening for 14:00 today and had no real troubles to speak of other than the queues on motorway.

Literally in the last hour or so one of our guys has been sent down to calais as we've been told it's reopen. I have however spoke to a French collegue and they seem to think it's all going to start again tomorrow for another 2 days.
As for the tunnel, it's a bit hit and miss leaving coquelles and last night tourist traffic was backed up onto the A16 motorway. I believe this may be running better now though as I didn't notice any tourist traffic queuing.
DFDS sailing from Dunkerque is busy but running. Tourist traffic has priority over freight

Yeah, that's the point I suppose - I'm hoping that's clear by 10th as I don't want to have to leave any earlier. It's a 7am start and 3.30 hour journey for me when everything is running smoothly you see :sick: :scared:
Even just by running one shuttle train an hour (as opposed to the normal two), that's already half an hour I've gotta add on in theory with the backlog, and they've been reducing and changing the number of trains all week (from the page I linked above).
