Paris–APA. A major fire on a freight train shut down all travel on the English Channel Tunnel link between Britain and France, leaving thousands of train passengers stranded but causing only minor injuries. Eurotunnel officials said 32 lorry drivers were evacuated from the freight shuttle link after a fire on a lorry some 10 km from the French entrance to the tunnel at Calais on Thursday. According to French radio, 14 people were slightly injured in the incident, either from smoke inhalation or broken glass as firefighters continued attempts to get the blaze under control as of early evening. The tunnel’s operator Eurostar doesn’t make clear when the tunnel will restore its work. The fire was not extinguished completely, but it is under the control.
