Club Arnage / General Discussion / Warning New layout at Calais Eurotunnel Terminal
|
on: April 26, 2011, 09:13:43 pm

We returned last night from an excellent trip to the test day to find that the shuttle terminal at Calais has been redesigned.. You now have to go through customs security and UK border control before getting to the terminal.
It took us 80 minutes to clear all that. So if it was aimed at speeding up the process it failed miserably.
The queue for the tolls was well back onto the motorway feeder road. The hold up was as you might have guest due to the UK border check despite having all the booths manned
We were booked on the 19 10 crossing but were offered two earlier times at the check in. However, due to the process time we just managed to catch the booked departure, although no chance to visit the terminal.
So be warned. The 30 mins suggested by Eurotunnel for latest arrival is a tad Walter Mitty. You need to allow at least double that.

Things are supposed to be back to normal at Dover at least
From Port of Dover Web Site
MESSAGE UPDATED at 06.35 hours on Friday, 23rd May, 2008
Current sea conditions in the Channel are slight, with a north-nor-westerly breeze, Force 3, and the visibility is good
SeaFrance sailings to Calais are running to time, with space available. P&O Ferries to Calais and Norfolkline to Dunkerque are subject to slight delays, and have limited space available.
SpeedFerries’ fastcraft services, from the Hoverport to Boulogne, are operating to schedule, but are fully booked all day.

Only one year did I not get the camping allocation asked for. Generally I get what I request but the order does go in at the end of June following the race.
Being a member does get seats in the ACO stand with a bar, alcahol and food, at lower than genearl outside prices, 24 hour circuit tv and live lap times as well as good toilet facilities when the outside loos were a disgrace. .
It pays for it self on wet weekends
So I consider it is worth while
