 Fifteen services were delayed by the shipping protest |
Fifteen Eurostar services and several thousand passengers were affected after French protesters blocked high-speed rail lines near Calais. The protest was against French plans for shipping registry law reform. One train was delayed for four hours but a Eurostar spokeswoman said at 1700 GMT that services were back to normal. About 100 men cut fences surrounding the Frethun terminal a day ahead of a parliamentary debate on simplifying rules for registering shipping.
