Train services from Paris to London were delayed and there were huge queues today as furious French staff staged a ‘Brexit-style’ security exercise in Paris.
They are convinced that clearing passengers for Eurostar services from the French capital will become much harder once Britain leaves the EU.
In Calais the Irish Times reported truckers were complaining of delays at Folkstone as French customs officers protesting.
Drivers reported queues stretching for miles on the other side of the Channel at Calais.

Security gates were empty as the French officials decided to protest on Wednesday
‘This is why we imposed very strict controls today,’ said a trade union source. ‘We want management to see how incredibly difficult our job is going to become after Brexit.
‘We just don’t have the resources to cope adequately. The delays and queues today prove that.’
Eurostar confirmed that their services leaving the Gare du Nord, their hub in Paris, were disrupted from first thing on Wednesday morning, with delays of more than an hour.
It was the third day of nationwide French protests, which saw staff demonstrating in Calais, Dunkirk and at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.
This also led to massive queues and delayed services.

Five French unions have been coordinating the protests, saying they do not have the staff or resources to cope with post-Brexit conditions.
In turn, a statement posted by Eurostar on its website reads: ‘We expect to maintain services on the existing basis, timetable and terms and conditions following Brexit.
‘We are working closely with our station partners, Governments and border authorities on both sides of the Channel to ensure that robust plans are in place for us to continue to operate in either a deal or 'no-deal' scenario.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
