    Train traffic through the Channel Tunnel, which links England and France, has been suspended following a fire, officials said.

    No-one was injured in the blaze that began at 1300 GMT in a freight train about seven miles from the French coast, Eurotunnel officials said.

    About 30 people who were on the train - most of them said to be lorry drivers - were evacuated safetly from the tunnel.

    French firefighters have now brought the blaze under control.

    A Eurotunnel spokeswoman was unable to say when services through the tunnel would resume.
