Title: Re: OTD - 6 May 1994 Euro Tunnel official opening Post by: grahame on May 06, 2024, 08:22:59 Happy official birthday Eurotunnel. and 30 years later ... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg30l198yr1o Quote The boss of Eurotunnel has insisted there will not be long queues of cars at its terminals when a new EU travel system starts in October. [snip] At the Port of Dover, Eurostar’s St Pancras terminus and Eurotunnel in Folkestone, French border police check passports as people leave the UK. The EU’s much-delayed Entry Exit system, or EES, will replace manual passport stamping. Citizens of countries which are outside the bloc, including the UK, will need to register their biometric information. There have been repeated warnings of queues as a result, and calls for the EES launch to be pushed back again.
