Commuters stuck in France
spoke of being "surrounded by migrants" and said the situation was a
"fiasco".
Some passengers on Eurostar
services on Tuesday evening were told people had managed to get on top of their
train and were asked to "listen out for people walking on the roof".
Rail services through the
Channel Tunnel have been disrupted after migrants in France blocked tracks and
climbed onto train roofs to try and reach Britain.
Following long delays at
Calais, two services were forced to turn back, one to London and one to Paris.
A "rescue train"
was sent for passengers who were stranded for around 12 hours near the French
port after their train suffered a technical fault and was unable to return to
Paris.
Three more trains heading
to London faced delays of up to three hours, while a further two services were
cancelled on Wednesday morning to "ensure the service is as robust as
possible".
