A Eurostar train has been held up after a migrant incident near the Channel Tunnel.
It comes just hours after freight traffic at Folkestone faced disruptions after migrants broke through to the terminal.
A statement from Eurotunnel at around 3pm this afternoon said: "We would like to inform you that our service is currently disrupted due to an earlier incident on the terminal which has now been resolved."
There are currently delays of 30 minutes to freight traffic.
Migrants are thought to have got onto the tracks in Calais, forcing a train to stop, but they are not believed to have got into the tunnel.
