Eurotunnel says no queues with new travel system
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. Eurotunnel chief executive Yann Leriche said journeys would take five-to-seven minutes longer, but extra lanes and technology mean the process will go smoothly. At Eurotunnel's Folkestone and Calais sites, we saw how the company which operates vehicle and freight shuttles across the Channel Tunnel has been preparing for the new system. Yann Leriche, the chief executive of Eurotunnel operator Getlink, told the BBC that travellers "Will simply [get] out of their car, spend a few minutes on their kiosks, and go back to their car and continue their journey". The BBC saw the machines Eurotunnel has developed to take people's details when the Entry Exit System starts.
