Eurotunnel delays as migrants board train
Eurotunnel passengers faced further delays over the weekend as migrants managed to board a UK-bound freight train.
Services were delayed for more than three hours on Sunday afternoon when the train was stopped and searched in the tunnel. The migrants were taken into custody.
The incident followed delays on Friday morning when a train had to be stopped after a migrant was seen on the track.
The cross channel operator was forced to run a reduced service after it had to stop a freight train in the tunnel.
