Just received a further booking confirmation from Eurotunnel and I chose the 6:20am departure time and 14:20 return time only it says the below:
Check-in closes 05:25 Departure time 05:55 Arrival time 07:30
Does anyone else have the same?
EuroTunnel update...
Just spoken to them, and the 6:20am train has been cancelled. Everyone booked onto that train should get an email in the next couple of days, if you haven't already done so, giving you the option of taking the 5:55am or 7:30am train.
If you've already been designated a time slot though, you can phone ET & ask to be put on the alternative time slot train, but this is on a first come first served basis.
Not sure what everyone else is gonna do, but personally, I'm gonna request the 5:55am train.
thats what iv just recieved:coffee:Quote:

Dale, I spoke to ET this morning - The 6:20am train is cancelled. Period. You have the choice of taking either the 5:55am or 7:30am trains.
More than likely, if you were to check with them yourself, you'll find you've probably already been allocated a space on the 5:55am train.
If that's too early, you can change it to the half 7 train, but you have to let them know asap.
Think we'll all be sleeping well that first night out there...
Im going to ring them up today, was too late last night. Was just suprised that I got another Email but with same times on them. Find out soon anyway, but will be booking the early train anyway
Just rung them up, definately the 6:20am on the 18th is still running. They have two trains running close to each other every 90mins. the 5:55 and 6:20 being them. So unsure on what you have read, unless they have moved yours because other people who are booked on a later train have taken up your slot and they have moved you early. Well as everyone is moving in the same convoy, im still going to be waking up early to get the early train as thats still possible to get with my ticket.
Ok, this is far too confusing, as the French cock I spoke to yesterday assured me the 6:20am train had been cancelled altogether.
Time for another phone call... :mad:
Oh, I can feel some fecking smackdown coming on :mad:
Apologies for any confusion, but it appears I was fed a bowl-full of ET bullsh1t yesterday...
Just spoke to them again, and surprise surprise there is a 6:20am train still running :sad2: The reason why they spouted pony to me yesterday is apparently because the 6:20am train is fully booked, and hence, at random, some people have been pushed onto the 5:55am train.
Now why they didn't explain that yesterday, gawd knows :rolleyes:
So, to confirm, or at least I think this is now the case; for anyone who's had an email saying you're now on the 5:55am train, that's now the bobby. The chances of getting it changed to the 6:20am train is null & void. If you haven't had any updated email from them, you're still on the 6:20am train.
Fecking typical that I've got the furthest distance to travel overall, and been placed on the earlier train. FFS.
im on the early 1 too, il hold ure hand dnt worry mart
...and I'll hold the other hand, you'll be just fine Mart :DQuote:

We give them a f*cking phone number, they should f*cking use it. ET are monkeys i swear... they employed 100 extra people since the fire to be in there customer service call centre in ashford... believe me when i ring i would feel sorry for the poor tw*t who answer's it... and if i get any sh*t excuse from them i am going straight to the call centre as its next door to Ashford Test centre and kick some a*se.
Ferry.... FTW :coffee: :D
Ricky, p1ss off ;) :D
Unless ET change the crossings again :mad: how does circa 5am (for leaving time) at the now infamous Tesco near Shopboy's sound? I swear if it gets any earlier, I might as well sleep in their sodding car-park that night :rolleyes: :D
For the guys & girls on the 6:20am crossing, we'll wait for you at the same services we all met at last time - The one that's about 60 mile or so once we're off the train.
So that'll be Sunderland to Abergavenny Thursday night, Abergavenny to the ghetto Friday night, then a 4am start Saturday morning. Splen-fecking-did :sad2:
WTF, got another Email from ET this morning... regarding my return trip in the 21st....
I was meant to be on the 14:20 train but the f*ckers have moved me forward to 12:20....
I have had it up to here with Eurotunnel.... why the F*CK should i be at there beck and call... f*cking Frogs
PMSL :laugh:Quote:

Well I have had a comfirmation from both my trips. No complaints, no changes :D Maybe they just dont like you :p
We need a "smiley" of sh*t hitting the fan.
Just got the below back from them, had to email the other day as couldn't get away to make a call:
"Thank you for your email
You should have received notification of this amendment by email Ms Smith,if you haven't please accept our apologies. Due to the incident on the 11 September, your pre-booked departure and return time have had to be amended to an alternative time in line with our Revised Shuttle Service Timetable. Customers are advised to respect their new departure times to avoid over-extended waiting times. "
That's just shoddy! Noticed they've actually moved my departure on 21st back to 14:37 too, not really bothered about that though
Ok guys,
1 huge major f*ck up going on here...
The "cheap" ticket deal we did.. ie : booking 2 journeys is against ET Terms and conditions.
We "could" and would most likely get stung... basically ET have the right to charge up singles fare per journey... something like £150 max!!
Now i have cancelled Eurotunnel booking, i managefd to get a refund, i just said i cant afford for ET to change my bookings anymore hence going elsewhere, stated i didnt trust ET with my booking/money anymore and would not be dealing with them anymore.
Please everybody cancel ET booking as we dont want anybody getting stung big time!!!
Norkfolkline is £60 P&O is £75....
I will be confirming my booking tonight after work... most likely going via P&O as i have been on there before and had no problems...
PLEASE PASS this message on to everybody going (Mart, Krisy M, J & Jesus, Tom6ft6, Adey, Dale Jarvis, Minty 83 etc)
Sorry i dont have time atm to txt everybody...
Drama drama, they are muppets to be fair! Shoppers, can you do us a favour and repost the NFL or P&O times/website etc so it's to hand for everyone when they see this in the latest post?
This is just bollox :( looks like its going to be fun cancelling and rebooking. P&O are charging fuel surcharge now :(
if you do go with P&O then ask if Tricky can have a go at the helm.....
I'm sure he can the back end out with 40,000BHP on tap
My ET crossings are now cancelled :sad2:
Booked with NorfolkLine (Ricky was right - Ferry FTW). Travelling out 6am on Saturday 18th, coming back 2pm Tuesday 21st. Cost comes in just shy of £60 return.
Forget the meeting times/place; I'll catch you guys either at check-in or on the boat.
What a complete & utter fecking carry on...
Chaps, sorry to hear about the ET goings on :(
I'm booked on the Norfolkline, Saturday 18th at 6am, i'm coming back a day earlier on the Monday which gave me the total price inc fuel surcharge and credit card charge of £65. ET wanted £120 for my Saturday-Monday return so it made sense for me to book the Norfolkline option.
The ferry isn't that bad, a nice full english and a cup o splodge first thing in the morning before the trek over Europe :)
Right i have now booked with Norfolkline..
Times are
Departure Saturday 18th of october at 06:00
Returning Tuesday 21st of october at 14:01
I hope everybody else can join us, i am so sorry for the cock... another lesson learnt for Ring trips in 2009.
Shoppers, i need that Norforkline confirmation please :)
Oh farkin' hell :laugh:
Right have already spoken to Tom and Minty and KrisM is coming over tonight so will explain fully to him then, he knows the jist already
is there anyone planing to stay using et?
I seriously wouldnt recommend it as you could be charged £250ish...Quote:

1.1 Your booking is only valid for the booked departure date and time and the vehicle type stated.
Failure to complete both the outward and return journeys in respect of a return booking will invalidate your booking and in the event that you complete only one journey in respect of a return booking, you will be liable to pay the difference between the price that you paid for your return booking and the single fare applicable at the time that your journey was made. Eurotunnel reserves the right to obtain from you payment in full for all sums so arising.
All travel must be completed within 1 calendar year of the date of booking.
y would i? i got a normal ticket, i couldnt be arsed to do the 2 journey thing
Well then i think you may be on the same train as Alex and his amazing CSL...:)Quote:
