With the assistance of a local minibus firm who responded to a post from the travel company on Twitter, Door2Tour.com has managed to arrange for several Brits to be able to return to the UK by travelling either tonight or tomorrow morning from Calais.

Kate Glanfield, Website Manager of Door2Tour.com said: “The phones have been ringing off the hook this morning with holidaymakers stranded all over Europe, even so far as Poland, who are unable to catch flights till next week and are desperate to get home. Traditionally we sell package holidays, but people have been getting in touch to see if we can assist, either by joining Continental package tours leaving for the UK today, or via other coaching means. It just goes to show how important coach travel can be when air disaster strikes!”

Any customers trying to get back to the UK should contact Door2Tour.com on 0845 956 9686 and the team will do their very best to get people home.
