Passenger train service between France and England were suspended Monday morning after migrants rushed the French terminal in hopes of reaching a better life in Britain.
Eurotunnel said Monday's problem originated in Calais, where the overnight rush happened later than usual, affecting the early morning trains.
Passenger services resumed mid-morning with delays of up to 90 minutes in Folkestone, people were still advised to check in on time for booked departures.

Passengers without pre-booked tickets were not being accommodated, according to the BBC.
The trains that cross beneath the Channel face increasingly frequent delays as more migrants take their chances on the tracks that link the two countries, with many each night trying to stow away on the trucks and cars loading on the freight train.
The French and British governments have focused on securing the Calais port and the Eurotunnel freight and passenger train site to keep migrants from sneaking rides.
The reinforced security has increased risks. Since June 26, 14 migrants have been killed, including a Syrian electrocuted Sept. 17 at the Eurotunnel site. The latest victim identified was a Moroccan who tried to swim to a ferry.
