A security exercise has been staged in the Channel Tunnel by police, fire and ambulance services from both England and France.

Eurotunnel said it was to test the co-ordinated emergency response if an incident were to occur in the tunnel.

A spokeswoman said it was to simulate a "particularly demanding problem" on board a train, and involved nearly 300 extras, assessors and observers.

Services were suspended overnight and customers were informed, she said.
