LONDON (Reuters) - Extra security measures introduced last year at the French terminal of the channel tunnel have ended traffic disruptions caused by migrants trying to get to Britain, a spokesman for Eurotunnel said on Thursday.

The additional security steps, including added fencing, cameras and 450 more police, were put in place in October 2015 and largely funded by a seven million pound contribution from the British government.
