Thank you for your review, John. It would be most unusual for duplicate payments to be taken like this and it's more likely to be an amendment fee for changing your booking (see https://www.leshuttle.com/uk-en/legal-information/changes-and-cancellations). If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us directly.

Outbound was OK

Outbound was reasonably slick but the return was delayed by over an hour and with minimal information as to why, plus it’s getting a bit expensive.

Once again very frustrating experience…

Once again very frustrating experience with traveling on the Le Shuttle, the crossing part is fine, excluding the toilets (a known issue as many signs suggesting go to the toilet before you board)! but the scheduling, and the clear dishonestly with train times acting as it trains are on time, when they are not, customers should be given more respect, if its late, it late, dont pretend its not! This happened on both crossings!

Booking was simple and straightforward

Booking was simple and straightforward. However the queues to say it was a holiday period was extremely slow and could have been handled better. The loading and journey was very good as was disembarkation. Sort the queues out and it would be 5 star for me.

Very easy travel to France

It was so easy to board signage was great and the guys on the ground were helpful in getting us through. We have used Le Shuttle for many many years maybe 3 or 4 times a year. It's always been so easy to use. We now book through the app which again is easy to use. We shall carry on doing so too!

Paid for Flexiplus

Paid for Flexiplus. Flexiplus channel was closed on arrival. No explanation. No apology. Why pay to skip the queue when you can't skip the queue....

prices way too high when towing

Regular user since the tunnel opened travelling a few times each year. Useful, (assuming no delays) when a quick service is required. Cost when towing & with pets is extraordinary though & prevents me booking my September trip each year opting for the ferry instead. This year quoted over £900 return. (4 years ago the same journey on similar dates was £ 400). Journey by ferry this year is almost £400 less & this includes P & O's excellent 'dog lounge' with its freebies.
