Eurotunnel Commuters

[Eskenazi]

Just had a letter from Eurotunnel to say that the present Commuter Scheme won't exist after April 1st & so code COMM04 is no longer in use. Is anyone else affected by this?

Sorry dont have connection with the commuters group but interesting to see that the new administration have got rid of another travelling scheme. I hope it doesnt inconvenience you too drastically. Apparently the attitude of staff particularly the french side has also suffered lately.

A friend arrived on sunday afternoon 3 hours too early and was escorted out of the terminal (with 9 other vehicules) and told not to come back until the appointed 2 hours early!! apparently the french have discovered Health and Safety and cannot have people on the premises more than their allotted 2 hours too early policy. This would have been fun at the Folkestone end a couple of weeks ago when I had a 5 hours wait because of a t*** that walking along the tracks early Saturday morning.

Something is going on but cant get to the bottom of it

Sounds like they are having problems with industrial relations at Eurotunnel France. My experience is that when things go wrong in that area, our French cousins do find reasons to stick to rules like H&S, to make some sort of point. My favourite irritant is when you arrive at French passport control. There are 95-99% of cars with right hand drive, guess which side of the booth the official sits? OK when you have someone with you, but when your on your own its a pain. Still thats what makes us luv them, we are different, and long may it continue.
