Default Phone roaming in the US and Canada was card numbers, was cards, was E-ZPass, was CharlieCards v.v. Oyster (and Octopus?)

Certainly has happened at St Margarets Bay (on the coast between Dover
and Deal - Ian Fleming used to live there).

Eurotunnel are equipping the tunnel for mobile phone reception, The
South running tunnel will be connected to French networks, and the
North running tunnel to British networks. So passengers will
(normally) be connected to their home network on the outward journey,
but face roaming charges on the return, with complications in case of
Single Line Working.

I think they have got it the wrong way around.

Am unlikely to make a call in the tunnel on the outward journey going to France,
but on the return being able to call to family whilst on the train would be
nice. Especially as you are driving more straight away.

On the outward journey there is always plenty of time to make a call.
