IF YOU ARE DRIVING TO THE ALPS FROM THE UK THIS WEEKEND, THIS WILL AFFECT YOU
Following the breakdown of four Eurostar trains last night, due to weather conditions in Northern France, there is severe disruption to all Eurostar and Eurotunnel services.
Eurotunnel are currently claiming "a very limited service" for today, and advise that snow is causing major traffic problems in the Pas de Calais and Northern France. Operation Stack is in place on the M20 in Kent.
All Eurostar services today (Saturday) have been cancelled, with a limited service to run tomorrow (Sunday 20th).

We'll update this thread with any major announcements from either operator.

There are presently huge delays on the major routes into the Kent Ferry and Tunnel terminals.
The A20 is very badly affected, and the M20 is shut between Junctions 8 and 9 (Operation Stack).

Eurostar now saying there will be no *Eurostar* services running Sunday (20th); no change from Eurotunnel (so still "limited service").
