Traffic has resumed in the tunnel beneath the English Channel, but lines are still long for trucks traveling between Britain and France following a day of disruption by striking port workers.
Eurotunnel, which runs those shuttle trains, said traffic resumed Wednesday morning, as did the Eurostar passenger train service.
Both companies cancelled all trains Tuesday after ferry workers striking over expected job cuts swarmed train lines and set tires alight.
