Rail services between UK, France suspended once again
Rail services between UK and France have been suspended once again after migrants got on to Eurostar's train tracks near Channel Tunnel.
Media reports say the migrants’ activity has disrupted the journey of over 2,000 Eurostar passengers.
According to The Guardian, “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.”
Two trains turned back to London and Paris after receiving reports that migrants climbed on trains. Meanwhile, a fault on another train left the passengers stranded near Calais on Tuesday night. Eurostar cancelled two other trains on Wednesday.
Back in July, the company in charge of operating Channel Tunnel called for immediate action from authorities to find a solution to the migrant crisis. The call came after 150 migrants disrupted Channel Tunnel services by trying to storm the Calais terminal to board UK-bound freight.
Migrants take advantage of slow-moving traffic by trying to board UK-bound vehicles.
This forces some drivers to take long detours to skip Calais altogether.
