There seems to be a very bizarre attitude to locking passengers in
without explanation.


Was on the Eurotunnel car shuttle on Saturday, when half way through
the tunnel we stopped suddenly and half the lights went out. We then
remained stationary for a few minutes and started off again slowly,
but it was only after a few more minutes that there was a mumbled
announcement about technical problems (I'm guessing one of the two
locos had failed) and running at reduced speed.

Given that quite a few people are nervous about travelling in the
Tunnel, especially were all the lights to fail and with the recent
fires, I was rather disappointed about the lack of a more timely
announcement.
