After the first fire in the tunnel, several years ago, I assumed that IR heat scanning equipment would be installed to detect heat in vehicles where it shouldn't be. But once again we have a fire in a lorry! The remarkable thing is this, at least once a month, a lorry catches fire on a motorway, sometimes several times in a week. So why did nobody think that it could also happen to a lorry in a shuttle train in the tunnel?

I don't understand some of the theories - one is that a lorry rolled over and the other is that it was the brakes.

How can a lorry topple over not sure they are that easy even when they jack-knife let alone when they aren't physically moving and they are caged in. As for the brakes, I'm assuming they mean on the lorry Surely the length of time it took to load the truck and the time it was in the tunnel then brakes had cooled down enough and the lorry driver must have been doing some speed before hand to get the brakes that hot in the first place

booked again to go over in october..........better have sorted it by then.

Its a bloody great way to travel ..........just catches fire a lot
