The 13 were taken to hospital in France after working overnight to replace track, following 19 the previous night.
Although carbon monoxide poisoning is the suspected cause, operator Eurotunnel says it has not detected excessive levels.

This time we are lucky, the next time, the men will not walk out and there will
be fatalities. Thats why we need HSWA .
