15 August 2020More than 30,000 British citizens hastily returned home by train from French holidays before the new quarantine rules for those who had stayed in France were triggered - at 4.00 am London time today.

This was reported, quoted by BBC, the company that manages the Eurotunnel railway under the Channel, which reveals that it had to increase its service by 30%, with the addition of 22 trains, given the exceptional circumstances, in addition to the period already normally busy. The shuttle trains loaded 11,600 additional cars, said Yann Leriche, CEO of the operating company, Getlink, who spoke of the "remarkable success" of the operation.
