Services slowly resuming after five trains halted outside Channel tunnel while police clear trespassers on tracks close to freight terminal
Rail services between Britain and France were suspended once again on Tuesday night after what was described as fresh “migrant activity” on the tracks close to the French city of Calais.
Passengers on one halted train were told by the driver that people were on the tracks between the tunnel’s entrance in France and Calais Frethun, a freight terminal to the south that has become a focal point for those trying to get into Britain.
Some travellers said they had seen people attempting to get through the tunnel on top of other trains, and many complained of their frustrations at the delays and re-routes.
Shortly before midnight, passengers were told that their trains would be returning to their places of origin in Paris and London.
