Guardian article - Eurostar train held at Calais reaches London after 16hr delay.

A train that was traveling from Calais to London was held up just outside the Channel tunnel. The tunnel is the one of the only way with which refugees and migrants can get across to the UK illegally with out going over water. The train was delayed due to the migrants in the tunnel trying to pass over from France to England, police where used to try and move them from the tunnel and the train. After 3 and half hours the train then had to go back to Calais and travellers had to wait till the morning. This artical was written a year ago, but the other day my brother was on his way back from Paris and his Eurostar train was delayed outside the Euro Tunnel, it was already delayed and it was the last train of the day. It was outside the tunnel for 3 and half hours but they continued with there journey to London , but he told me Eurostar had mentioned that people where inside the tunnels.

It is incredibly sad that the people who have escaped and traveled to Europe from places like Syria which is at war (where they are at risk of chemical weapon attacks and bombings.) Eventually get across to Europe but there journey is so dangers and shows there desperation. It is also interesting that commercial companies like Eurostar are not really doing anything to try and help the situation in a positive way. They are a extremely lager company that charges a lot of money to travel on there services but because of the crisis, both the migrants and the company are suffering. Eurostar is loosing profit from the train delays and the situation is clearly no improving. A negative way in which to try and resolve it is getting the French police involved that dose result in violence.
