Eurotunnel, anyone travelled on it recently during operation 'brock' ?
I've travelled on the Eurotunnel several times but never when this operation 'brock' has been in place. At the moment I believe traffic has to get off the M20 at junction 8 rather than at the usual junction 11a and then take a diversion to the euro terminal. Is the diversion a pain in the backside (time wise) and secondly, is there any 'filtering' restriction for bikes that's been put in place by the traffic police? Thanks

Re: Eurotunnel, anyone travelled on it recently during operation 'brock' ?
Thanks. As of this weekend it said that ALL traffic had to get off at junction 8 instead of junction 11a due to operation brock. They were using the remaining 3 intersections of the motorway as a lorry park, coastbound only. I just checked and it looks like one lane coastbound is now reopen.

Clear run today. Contraflow for one junction from Maidstone services. Lorries directed to the other carriageway but they weren't being held their either. No issues.
Just along for the ride.

I live in Kent and travelled it back in March so when all traffic actually was diverted and it was fine.

Used tunnel on the 18th and 25th of August to go and come back from France. Had a delay of about a hour coming back. They let 8 bikes to board shut the doors and off we went. Went to loo in the next carriage and it was empty???
