The last-minute strike by French Eurotunnel staff, which resulted in the suspension of Eurostar and LeShuttle services and widespread travel disruptions, has been called off following a resolution between Eurotunnel management and trade union representatives. Despite the end of the industrial action, significant travel disruption continues, particularly with the ongoing closure of a 15-mile section of the M20 motorway.

The terminals, which had been shut since midday owing to the strike, are set to gradually resume LeShuttle services this evening. An agreement reached between the involved parties promises to bring some relief to the numerous travellers affected by the strike. A spokesperson for Eurotunnel expressed relief at the resolution and extended apologies to all those impacted by the strike, including LeShuttle customers, Eurostar passengers, and rail freight operators.
