  11. CW: Article: The secret API I used to tell LeShuttle about different outbound and return passengers

    Channel Tunnel operator LeShuttle's website wouldn't provide a working UI to specify that I'd have different passengers in my car for the outbound and return journeys. So, obviously, I reverse-engineered their API and pushed the information to their database directly.

  12. I'm taking a #LeShuttle through the #ChannelTunnel to #France, but their website's feature to specify different passengers for the outbound and return leg was broken.

    A normal person would contact tech support. Right?

    But instead, I #reverseEngineered their #API and pushed the correct data directly into their systems. Sorted!

  16. #eurostar and #leshuttle should lose operating licence until provision is made to recover trains trapped in the #ChannelTunnel using altenate power. Why was no attempt made to evacuate passengers through the service tunnel? A disaster waiting to happen!

  18. Eurostar has suspended all European train services after a power supply failure and a Le Shuttle breakdown forced the closure of the Channel Tunnel, disrupting travel during the busy New Year holiday period. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/w #Eurostar #ChannelTunnel #TravelDisruption #EuropeTravel

  19. #Eurostar warns of severe delays and cancellations due to power supply issues in #ChannelTunnel
    Newsflash: Eurostar is advising customers not to #travel on its service today, following a problem with the overhead power supply in the Channel Tunnel.

    Eurostar is “strongly” advising all its passengers to postpone their journey to a different date, due to the power problem and a “subsequent failed Le Shuttle train”.

    It is urging customers not to come to the station unless they already have a ticket to travel, and warning that trains could suffer severe delays and last-minute cancellations.

    Six trains this afternoon, from St Pancras, Brussels and Paris, have been cancelled (details here). Some other services have been delayed.
