Bomb alert at Calais train station disrupts Eurostar

A bomb alert at a French train station disrupted journeys including international travel, with Eurostar trains among those affected.

The incident at Calais-Frethun, a station in northern ​France, affected rail traffic including trains between London and Paris on Thursday morning.

A Eurostar statement said: "At the request of ⁠the French authorities, ​trains are currently unable ​to pass through Calais-Frethun ​station.

"This is causing delays ⁠to some services to and from ⁠London."

But train services resumed later in the morning after the gendarmerie authorised their restart, national train operator SNCF said.

The national gendarmerie did not immediately respond ​to an emailed request for ⁠comment.

The alert came amid ⁠a broader wave of ​bomb threats and hoaxes reported in ​France and other European ​countries in recent months, targeting flights, schools ⁠and, in some cases, media organisations.

It was not immediately clear whether ⁠Thursday's alert was linked to ​any of the previous threats.
