A photo posted to Twitter by passenger Michael Harrison shows people walking through the service tunnel of the Eurotunnel, after their drive-on"Eurotunnel Le Shuttle" train was left stranded due to a technical issue as it made its way from England to France, August 23, 2022.— Hundreds of passengers were evacuated from a Eurotunnel train under the channel between Britain and France after a technical problem, its operators said on Tuesday.
An alarm on board forced crowds of people to leave the train for the adjoining concrete service tunnel, which is normally used by maintenance workers."There was a woman crying in the tunnel, another woman having a panic attack who was travelling alone," she said. Another traveller, Michael Kent, said passengers spent several hours in the train before it was evacuated as staff tried to solve the problem.
