One out, all out?

The fire in the Channel Tunnel was a serious incident and clearly has put that tunnel out of commission for some time. But if memory serves, wasn't the Chunnel built with two tunnels to deal with precisely this sort of event? So why have all services been suspended? Why isn't the other tunnel open for business? What's the point of building in redundancy if you don't make use of it?
