5 Aug 2010 - Eurotunnel is investigating after passengers were taken from the UK to France and back again without being able to get off the train. The incident happened when seven vehicles were left on the train on Saturday, because staff forgot to offload one of the wagons. The error happened after a fuel spill left one of the wagons empty. Staff in Calais, who unloaded the front cars, did not realize there were more cars behind the empty wagon. Train crew realized what had happened when the train was already on its return journey, but it was too late and nothing could have been done for the unfortunate holiday makers. They were given a refund and a free ticket for the next trip with Eurostar. Not sure if they will ever use the train services again though ...
Happy Holiday
