Calais crisis: UK Eurotunnel passengers face delays [BBC News]





Date: 04/08/2015

Passengers and lorries using the Eurotunnel from the UK face delays of four hours due to an 'unplanned tunnel inspection,' the company says. The latest problems to affect crossings between Kent and northern France come after 100 extra security guards were deployed to tackle the migrant crisis in Calais. Migrants made some 600 attempts to enter the Channel Tunnel overnight.
