Operation Stack phase 4 now being implemented. M20 now closed for 23 miles from junction 8 to the Channel Tunnel. I hope our Government will bill the French Government for all the chaos this is costing us. I feel very sorry for anyone caught in traffic jams in this heat.
Yeah buddy not ideal but the best way to Belgium when those frenchies are up to no good ,
The ferry is better , the mileage the other side should be less, and although it takes 7 hrs instead of 1.5 to cross or 35 mins on.the train if you get A cabin it's well worth it ,
I would seriously consider it mate , I got stuck in that earlier this year an initial weds evening heading back to the UK turned in to a Friday am return home
Went out to Belgium a few days later via harwich - hook- Belgium , done less fuel than I would have. Less journey time behind the wheel and was watered and rested on the ferry,
Didn't last long - Operation Stack is back again this morning with the M20 closed coast-bound between junctions 8 & 9. More travel chaos in Kent again today.
This time due to illegal migrants storming the Eurotunnel terminal in Calais. Just imagine what could happen if they were terrorists and the carnage they could cause. Security can't be good enough if people can illegally enter this area so easily. It is time the French got tougher on this type of action.
Yep, apparently 150 migrants........stormed the restricted area. About time the 2 governments got together and delivered a solution to this, The disruption is becoming not only an irritation, but a serious security issue. If the 2 countries cannot resolve this, then so much for a terrorist attack as you mention....... Typical meddle and fudge by anglo British\ French powers that be.
Does make me laugh... got the ferry back from calais yesterday (which was incidently fine) and saw the massive fence we've allegedly paid for, but it doesnt even stretch as far as their camp, so they can just walk round the end of it?! Pretty shameful both governments still cant combat this problem effectively after all these years.
If the French did their job properly, they'd approach all people in their country illegally and force them to either claim asylum and process them, or else arrest them as illegal immigrants and deport them accordingly. They don't, so they shift a humanitarian and security crisis into us and the other countries in their free movement zone.
