A smooth passage across to France in the car is no longer forecast.

Got the impression they've shifted the whole Eurostar problem to Eurotunnel,
which itself is about to go t!ts up

Eurostar will hopefully resume tomorrow.

Cars/trucks cancelled until further notice.

They're trying to get displaced people home, not interested in betfairians wanting to go to France. Don't waste your time.

No alternative
Got a Christmas break booked in France until Sunday

Worth the risk of delays rather than throwing the whole thing away

Fingers crossed that some sort of normality returns tomorrow or Wed

Police won't let you anywhere near the terminal. Accommodation will be full, temperatures freezing.

Are you mad?

Every alternative, don't go. You clearly haven't read the BBC website. They are not taking people, end of.

I presume you mean you are hoping for things to start moving so you can leave home on Wednesday morning?

If so, good luck. If not, you're mad!

It ain't looking good - Eurostar advising us to cancel as will not guarantee any pre booked journeys until back log cleared. They are unlikely to get back to full service until after Boxing Day and every train that does run will be to clear the backlog

It's a pre-booked (July) journey already confirmed and paid-for
It's on Wed morning
It's not a day-trip (5 day return)
Nothing to do with Eurostar

Still quite concerned though
