Eurotunnel passengers go to France and back again without being able to get off train

Around 20 Eurotunnel passengers travelled to France and back again without being able to get off their shuttle train.

The passengers, who had originally left Folkestone at 8.50am last Saturday, were given a refund and also a free crossing in the future

The "forgotten" passengers, going through the Channel Tunnel from Folkestone to Calais, were in seven vehicles which were loaded behind a wagon that had been left empty after an earlier fuel spill.
Eurotunnel staff at Calais unloaded the front vehicles on the train but did not realise there were seven cars behind the empty wagon.
