Eurotunnel passenger services face eight hour delays due to maintenance work

05:00, 21 December 2015

Eurotunnel services at Folkestone are operating as normal today - after chaos on the lines following a track fault.

It comes after unplanned maintenance work in the tunnel earlier for a damaged rail.

A section of the Channel Tunnel was closed and work got under way to fix the problem - but passengers were forced to wait up to eight hours last night to get to France.
