Holidaymakers heading to France on Wednesday have been hit by a spate of delays both on the Eurostar and the Dover to Calais ferry. Passengers looking to catch a train from St Pancras have been left waiting as a technical fault in France means that trains were delayed by over an hour.
People who have booked a ferry have also been forced to wait an extra two to three hours for their ride across the channel, with P&O announcing problems on two of its boats. The travel chaos comes in the wake of delays and cancellations on public transport across the country with wildfires causing large amounts of disruption, particularly in London.
