Drunk passengers delay Eurostar

Eurostar passengers suffered severe delays after two drunk British passengers were taken off the train.

The Paris to London train which departed at 8:15pm on Monday was held up for around six hours after the disruptive travellers were removed by French authorities in Calais, the operator said.

The delay was said to have been caused by border force checks after the incident.

A spokeswoman for Eurostar said the passengers became “quite disorderly”.
