UK: Delays for departures at the Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal, July 13

Authorities at the Eurotunnel LeShuttle rail service have announced a 60-minute delay at the UK terminal in Folkestone and a 30-minute delay at the border control on July 13. Reports indicate the delays are due to a new passport system introduced by France.

Once it is operational, long queues and associated delays will likely continue for several hours as security processes return to normal.
