Freight service

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.

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 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.

Please note that essential overnight Tunnel maintenance works will be carried out from Monday 17 August at 23:00 (CET) to Tuesday 18 August at 06:00 (CET). This will result in a reduced timetable during the works.

As valuable key workers, your drivers have been playing a vital role in the supply chain by maintaining the flow of goods since the start of the Covid-19.

As the Covid-19 crisis has developed, we have adapted our process and taken measures to protect truck drivers and our staff. Your health and safety is our utmost priority.
