  3. Carriages are enclosed and you are advised that your windows should be opened slightly
  4. Weight restrictions for the Eurotunnel state that vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are not permitted on the shuttle. You may need to travel on the freight service if the goods on board are over 3 cubic metres, this rule counts even when goods are for private use
