We arrived on the July 10 to Dover and had planned on taking the Southeastern train to St. Pancras. We did that, was a bit of a challenge with luggage but was a convenient trip into Central London.

Taxi driver from there to the hotel in London said it was a mess on the 9th with the strike.

Calais fires could disrupt Channel Tunnel, Eurotunnel says

• From the section Kent

The tyres were set alight on the approaches to the Eurotunnel terminal
Eurotunnel has warned of "significant disruption" to services if burning tyres on the motorway in Calais are not removed by French police.

Ferry workers had set fire to tyres on the road leading to the port to try and block the entrance to the Eurotunnel terminal, the company said.

Traffic from Folkestone on the cross-Channel rail service is not being affected, Eurotunnel said.

Day return passengers have been advised to reschedule their journeys.

French police told the BBC protesters would end their blockade at 12:00 BST.

Eurotunnel tweeted: "The protesters have now left the motorway, but A16 from Calais remains closed as the authorities work to remove the [blockage]."

Passengers are experiencing delays, a spokesman for the company said.

Eurotunnel has advised those unable to access the Coquelles Eurotunnel terminal from the Calais direction to use a diversion which has been put in place from the Boulogne direction.

An update for those coming down for the cruise Wednesday. The HGVs (trucks) are all requested on the motorway gantry signs to use the M20 to Dover only. Whilst operation stack is not in force looks like if it gets a bit worse it will be back.

A2/M2 is fine and slightly better without trucks.

Hot and sunny in Kent.
