@SarahChampionMP @CIJ_ICJ @CommonsIDC I just saw you interview on BBC news and it's prompted my first interaction with Twitter / X in years. You're doing a great job, an adult in the room, thankyou

@AliMitib @G_Zedosh @LeShuttle @thetimes Hi Guillaume, from what I saw on Friday evening the issue was Eurotunnel had a system outage that led to extreme loss of throughput rate at their own front gate. They had staff writing tickets manually. Once through the gate the terminal was empty. Trains leaving half empty.

@AliMitib @G_Zedosh @LeShuttle @thetimes Happy to chat, we have pictures. A system outage is one thing (but points to mismanagement) but continuing to fail to report this is coming across like an organisation hiding the truth

@LeShuttle When we reached the check in after 4 hours on the motorway last night the attendant told us that the ticket system was down (on the busiest day of the year). He wrote our tag with a pen, vehicles were dribbling through. That's what happened, wasn't it @LeShuttle?

@SouthendBC @EJ_Babb I reported this to the coastguard last weekend who said all they could do was notify the council. Would be a shame/risk if it's all still there as another storm comes in!
