Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Boris, Avago ad reported at 5.30 this morning that there is a four hour delay - technical problems.
Our daughter came over last night and she said the lorry traffic was delaying everything on the road - they missed booked train but were on the next one - and are expected within the hour -

http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/traveller-info/latest/ is claiming 30 minutes delay at the moment. Hope it's not got (much) worse by tonight.

The problem is backlog of lorries caused by ferry cancellations. Plus backlog of signal failure last night. Lorry jam is causing delays getting into terminal at moment. Once through is about 30 min delay. Seem to be running car trains at max capacity so should clear

Twitter your best bet for current situation from people there

But everyone always gets on an earlier tunnel crossing for no extra cost, unlike ferry who always have to wait (they don't) Wink

€191 tunnel... £36 each way for ferry... hmmm... and I only know this cos I checked the tunnel prices "just in case the third mother of all storms this Autumn blows Kent away again".

CYALL on P+O, Monday evening, although I'm concerned that the 45mins extra crossing time will severely affect my 8 hour (plus crossing) journey time Wink


edit: thanks for the warning though that everything is screwed up

Not sure I call a 15 minute delay too screwed up. Hopefully this means they have sorted the problem and dealt with backlog so those travelling later will be fine. Wouldn't want to be in a truck though - a lot of them stacked

Hrm...when the M20 stacks up with lorries, can cars (and big 4x4's) still get through? Or should I be looking for an alternative route for today? (Is there one??!?!).

We were told 2 hour delay when booking in. We finally boarded at 5:10 - 4 hours late. Our journey has so far been a nightmare due to hitting work/school etc. traffic......but on the plus side, we are on holiday Toofy Grin

Good luck to anyone travelling this weekend and Merry Christmas snowHead

But a bit further down currently there are two lanes of lorries queuing - at least the right-hand lane is clear:

We're off this afternoon, on a flexi-plus ticket which in theory means we can turn up any time -- the train is booked for late evening but we're hoping to get there around 6pm or so. I guess that might not happen if the traffic is bad :-|

Half hour queue for the toll booths around 8pm, but we made our 9.20 crossing okay - actually ended up on the 9.06.

Now collapsing for a few hours in a PC before hitting the autoroute at 6am.
