Additional staff were placed on duty in the control room. Eurotunnel's plans of attempting to drive trains through the tunnel in the event of an on-board fire with a back-up of uncoupling the locomotive and amenity coach and driving out were abandoned and replaced by plans to bring trains to a controlled stop and evacuate the occupants into the service tunnel.

Communications were improved also.
