On the BBC website:

“Eurotunnel has confirmed the strike is over and there will be a progressive return to services.”

Well I am not sure I can turn round - though it might be quicker - still not checked in after 3 hours in a P&O queue

Have you been through frontier checks?

Nope. Still not got boarding pass. But I will not be able to extracate myself from middle lane. No-one gives way as all think you're queue jumping.

Niemeyjt, in LeFigaro a sign of hope:

Eurotunnel : les syndicats annoncent la fin de la grève, la réouverture du tunnel sous la Manche prévue dans la soirée

Yes. But too late. They would not let me wait at the terminal for a restart.

My partner is in the final queue, should load soon.

I am queuing for UK passport checks - on 1.25 boat - 11 hours late!

My lady has just sailed, I think.
Where are you off to?

Maybe the return trip for her boat will be the 1.20 if it arrives at 23.25. Looking at departures that is the next P&O.

I'll wave if I'm awake.
