FROM THE DAILY MAIL:
A Eurostar train carrying 480 passengers had to be evacuated in northern France on Sunday 8 May with the actor Johnny Depp among those inconvenienced.

Hundreds of passengers had to be evacuated from a Eurostar train in northern France on Sunday and among those put out by the breakdown was Hollywood actor Jonny Depp.

The star was on board the London-bound train that became blocked on the rails on Sunday morning.

According to reports in France, the train ground to a halt after a fire alarm was triggered as it approached the Channel Tunnel. Reports claim there was smoke being emitted from the engine as it approached the gateway to the UK.

As a result, it couldn’t enter the tunnel and passengers were forced to get off the train at the Calais-Frethun station, while they waited for an alternative Eurostar to arrive from Brussels to pick them up.
