12 December: news in brief

Channel Tunnel traffic depressed by election and Brexit

EUROTUNNEL operator Getlink has reported that its cross-Channel traffic was down in November, and the operator has attributed the fall to pre-Brexit stockpiling, election uncertainties and ‘an unfavourable calendar’. Passenger Shuttles carried 142,106 vehicles, which was 13 per cent fewer than in November 2018. Lorry traffic was also down, by 6 per cent.
