Channel tunnel train delayed
The Channel tunnel was blocked yesterday when a freight shuttle train derailed at Folkestone in Kent.
The train remained upright, but the tunnel's freight and car passenger shuttle services were badly disrupted. None of the 17 passengers were injured.
The locomotive had just entered the portals of the tunnel when one of the carriages near the back of the train went off the rails.
