As part of the project initiated by GETLINK to build a 1GW electrical connector through the Channel Tunnel, we would like to remind you that we will be carrying out essential overnight tunnel maintenance works at night over the next two week-ends (Friday/Saturday, Saturday/Sunday and Sunday/Monday) resulting in a reduced timetable.

In September 2020, Le Shuttle Freight carried 131,985 trucks, up 2% compared to September 2019, a strong performance thanks to the unrivalled nature of its service. Since 1st January 2020, more than 1.03 million trucks have crossed the Channel on our Shuttles.

This bulletin provides the latest news from Government relating to UK borders at the end of the transition period. HMRC is creating a series of short videos aimed at helping those businesses brand new to customs.

The date on which the United Kingdom would become a third country vis-à-vis the European Union is still set for 31 December 2020. In this context, Eurotunnel is keen to show, more than ever, the vital importance of the economic link connecting the UK and continental Europe by giving the floor to the main players involved: our freight customers.

With 110,327 trucks transported during August 2020, Le Shuttle Freight has maintained its resilience in the current economic circumstances, demonstrating the unrivalled nature of its service.

The health and safety of our customers and staff is our first priority and the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic make this all the more important today.

Please note that we will be carrying out exceptional maintenance works in the tunnel during the night of 27 to 28 August as of 01h00 (CET). This will result in a modified service between 01h00 and 06h00 (CET). Additional departures have been planned after these works.
