PaulT Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Few days ago was looking to book a crossing from Calais to Folkestone via Eurotunnel with a trailer on 30th September and the time I wanted was not available. I now see that there is nothing from 22:00 on the 29th to 22:00 on the 30th.Other weekends seem ok so was wondering what is going on on the 30th - any one know?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Paul My guess is nothing is happening. Try doing a test booking without a trailer and almost every train has availability - could be a glitch in the tunnel system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nell Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What's Happening on the 30th??? It's my 60th birthday and I am going to stay in bed all day!!!I'm not really, I am going to celebrate in Bruges with my OH and my lovely son is flying over to join us, but I might still stay in bed all day!!!

PaulT Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Andy, still has no availability before 06:00 booking as just a car - thanks for the suggestion though. I have crossed at times when the high carriages have been full (and at times when there have been just a couple of us in them).Jay - very thought provoking.Nell, have a great day.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Eurostar have lots of alterations on 29th and 30th due to engineering works.I suspect that the tunnel is completely closed overnight for these works.It also affects 15th October!http://www.internationalrail.com/rail-travel-news/eurostar-engineering-works-29th-30th-september-and-1st-15th-october.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
