@Nefex ich würde niemals mit einem Zug der #DB durch den #Eurotunnel fahren 😨
Rant mode on
Thanks to #brexshit and the #brexshitters who managed to convince a gullible majority of the benefits of #takingbackcontrol , the queue at #ukborderforce in Coquelles Eurotunnel took more than an hour to clear this afternoon, with the UK side only having 2 booths open, whereas the French exit border police had 6 booths open. As explained to me by a #Eurotunnel agent, if someone hasn't actually filled out the newly required ETA correctly to enter the UK for non-UK passport holders, #ukborderforce shut the queue in question with everyone else in it and accompany said person to a building located away from the booths to do the necessary. In the meantime, everything backs up.

nvestir dans un tunnel sous la mer, est-ce une stratégie gagnante ? 🚄

Getlink (anciennement Eurotunnel) est une infrastructure unique au monde, un véritable monopole naturel qui relie deux puissances économiques. Mais au-delà de l'ouvrage d'art, que vaut l'action pour un investisseur de long terme ?

Je vous propose une analyse de ce dossier entre barrières à l'entrée et rendement. 🧵 1/4

#OGONE40001138 is a really useful and informative error that is thrown by my #commerzbank and #firstdirect Mastercard (begins with number 5) online payment attempt on the #leshuttle #eurotunnel website but an #n26 payment card (also starting with 5) works fine. Bravo N26 which, as I have said as often as I can, utterly rocks.

Booked some Eurotunnel tickets last night, for the first time in years. The usual questions about vehicle, passengers, and then numbers of pets:
• Dogs
• Cats
• Ferrets

Excuse me, what? I know plenty of people have ferrets as pets*, but is it a common thing for people to take them on holiday with them?

* We used to have a ferret and a polecat when I was a kid, but they were for rabbiting not petting

#EuroTunnel #PetsOfMastodon #Ferrets

Meanwhile on #Facebook some old boomer climate denier challenged me to drive my EV to Europe and see who wins.

Fully charged my #EV will do around 270 miles. My chosen driving route would be via Hull and the North Sea Ferries; however let's see... Dover is 232 miles away. Even on a very cold day with heaters running I'd make the terminal with about 5% energy left.

That means I can drive quite a few miles into France and even make it into Belgium before needing a charge - and that's if we go #Eurotunnel.

You see, that's the problem. They don't actually have the slightest clue what they're on about. They believe the #dailymail , #telegraph and the other right wing papers, meanwhile I drive around in a 285bhp van which will quite happily 0-60 most cars and takes me to Wolverhampton and back without me even thinking of charging.

The world has moved on. They haven't, and soon it's going to be embarrassing.

@bahnoev

Erst in 5 Jahren?!? Was ist wenn schon vorher Flugverbindungen kontingentiert bzw. eingeschränkt werden müssen wegen zunehmender Einsicht durch die fortschreitende Klimakatastrophe?

Der Traum ist wirklich schon etwas älter:
Es waren mal Direktverbindungen für ab 2013 geplant.
2010 gab es die ersten Testfahrten eines ICE3 im #Eurotunnel und ein ICE wurde nach London zur Show und Absichtserklärung gezogen.

Es muss kein ICE sein, es fahren ja schon lange Eurostarzüge nach Köln, die ja auch nach London fahren können, also sind Direktverbindungen sicherlich schon früher möglich. Ich hoffe nur, die Eurostarzüge sind nicht alle so eng und haben mehr Beinfreiheit.
