Damn damn , due to a fire in the Euro tunnel all train traffic between the UK and France has been suspended. Argh, why on a Thursday afternoon :( :(....I miss Jan.
@jen: it doesn't reopen yet today as the fire was still blazing this morning! So it's totally uncertain whether the train service restart over the weekend.
But Jan phoned me that he managed to book a flight tonight so he'll be home with only 24h delay. Pheww. I'm happy!
Oh no! At least he was on the outside of the tunnel when it caught fire! Am glad to hear he was able to find a flight and will get to spend the weekend with you! :-)
@snooker: yes most news items do not touch us personally, but now I follow the news on this point with extra attention. If each train carries about 500 - 1000 people and there are 2-3 trains per hour going each direction....you already have 10000 to 20000 or more by now.
@Betsy: yeah I am happy he got on as well. I guess he realised soon enough that waiting was pointless and booked before all of them were full. I really thing traffic will be disrupted/irregular for a long time still. But if he can't make it back to London, it's less of a problem :p

Hopefully Jan's back home safe by now!
