We were booked on a return ferry with my ferry link but fortunately they've been great about transfering us over to a Eurotunnel pass at no extra cost (or a refund is wished). All done via email (only) and replies within 30 mins.

My preference was EuroTunnel originally but it was double the price so win win.

My only problem now is the state of the M20/A20 - having never driven down that way before what's it like with operation stack. How much extra time should I leave ahead of my depature time do you think?

I drove the opposite way today and it was a clusterfk. Try and go around rather than down the M2 or M20.

I'm in Amsterdam at the moment, coming home tomorrow. Drove out last Thursday during operation stack via M2. Would have been fine except for a shunt on the M2. Double the journey time. Can't believe the amount of lorries backed up in France....a cue all the way to Belgium...it's incredible! Wondering if I'm going to be affected tomorrow trying yo get home!

Hi

Just a quick update, despite the media reports we encountered no problems getting to the tunnel in the UK or France. In the UK we were diverted off the M20 onto the A20 but it didn't add too much time to our journey and coming home as others have suggested terminal has its own exit from the motorway/autoroute.

Driving in France was great - so empty compare to the UK, toll roads were great and not too expensive - covered 1400ish miles in a week,

cheers
