So, with that, you have a tunnel that is effectively blocked for human purposes, but still allows for the rabid animals from the UK Guide.
If the Chunnel was blocked to all human traffic why would anyone bother to pump the water out? And it is (IMHO) highly likely that at some stage during the Twilight War that power to the pumps was lost for some period of time. No pumps = flooded Chunnel.
