One presumes the strike is taking place in France seeing as it would violate UK labour law.

But readers travelling today or in the run up to Christmas must check their booking status with Eurostar.

Today four trains were unable to enter the Tunnel and are being returned to their starting point.

In another tweet Eurostar is saying that travellers booked for later today are being advised to postpone their trips.

Update: due to unexpected strike action by Eurotunnel staff, services are currently not able to proceed through the Channel Tunnel until mid-afternoon at earliest. Trains held en route 9126, 9018, 9023, 9125 will return to their starting point as are now cancelled. >

As you will know by now the Tunnel blockade ended yesterday evening.

France’s transport minister Clement Beaune issued the following message on twitter/X.

“I salute the spirit of responsibility of all those imvolved.”
