Just had a text from Dragonbaby who is en route by road to Stuttgart (school trip). Seems as if there's disruption at the French ports (blockades by fishermen).Her coach has been diverted through the tunnel as their 5am sailing had been pulled.Can't see any news on the web so don't know if this is likely to cause further problems today.

Yep, she did. Just seen the BBC news[V].I don't know who made the decision to use the tunnel (whether it was the coach company or the organising teachers) but I'm thankful to whoever it was [:)]
She hated the tunnel though[:0].
