Power failure stops Eurotunnel trains, causing widespread disruption for much of today.

Exactly what happened the last time I tried to use it.

Their customer service was excellent, though. Their advice to me? "<shrug>"  >:(

So, like I say, "the last time". >:(

the reason people use le shuttle is time, when its running well, it takes 1hour, boarding,and disembarking, included,the ferry takes 2hours,without waiting in the lanes, yes ferry is nicer,and more relaxed,but to some its all about time.

I've used the tunnel a few times now without any issue at all,although this year due to price(28 ft campervan) we are going on the ferry from Dover for about 100 quid less than the train :y

I prefer the Ferry, breaks journey up nicely, get a breakfast, bit of sea air. Tunnel is just like being on Central Line in your car  ;D

I like both & use both. Depends on destination, time and vehicle. August with the Wedge & October with the Wife.  ;D

I must say I loved going on one of the last hovercraft trips. Hardly anyone on it.  ;D
