Pleeze listen carefully….

Liz won't go in the chunnel, this latest fiasco has confirmed that firmly in her mind.
 
Right, just ask for forgiveness, you've obviously not met Liz yet then.
 
Since the tunnel opened in 1994 no cross-channel ferries have sunk Del...

But:-

Major Incidents:
  • 1996 Fire: A heavy goods vehicle (HGV) fire severely damaged the tunnel, requiring six months of closure for repairs.
  • 2006 Fire: Another fire in an HGV shuttle, leading to passengers being evacuated.
  • 2008 Fire: A prolonged fire in an HGV shuttle that reached extreme temperatures (1,000°C) and caused significant damage, requiring lengthy repairs.
  • 2009 Freezing Weather: Snow and cold weather caused multiple Eurostar train breakdowns, trapping thousands of passengers for hours due to electrical system failures..
  • Recent Disruptions: Occasional power supply issues and train failures, like those in late 2025, causing travel chaos.

Void. My reply could have been taken the wrong way. I decided to remove it. Unfortunately the way the forum operates, once a reply is opened, some text is required

I stood on those white cliffs last year, watching a lifeboat do exactly that. The LB and two attached rubber dinghies looked like a classic ‘v’ shaped mini skiein of geese. 😳
