Euro tunnel shares

Hi
many years ago I invested in some Euro tunnel shares and never thought about them again. Last month I received a document advising shares would be merged with another company. I have 1290 shares in TNU PLC does anyone know how much these are worth as I am struggling to find any info on how much they worth. think i paid about £400 all those years ago but no idea how to get an up-to-date estimate.
much thanks in advance

    €0.02 each. Somewhere around £20 in total!

    (I took that from the BBC business pages, but it looks to me as if these shares haven't been trading for over a year - basically they're close to worthless).

    Newcastle United shares were cancelled in 2007 as they were bought out. Here is the announcement about it - http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200707110700480254A

    Shareholders should have received money for their shares - the offer was for £1 a share.
  • Thanks for that info I never recieved any funds from the sale so I am now going to track it down.
